This rack-mountable 1U switch features 20 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports (30W, 802.3at) and 4 Gigabit Ethernet PoE++ ports (100W, 802.3bt Type 4), alongside 2 additional Gigabit Ethernet and 2 SFP Gigabit Ethernet ports, offering a total PoE power budget of 370W. With a switching bandwidth of 56 Gb/s and a forwarding rate of 41.66 Mpps, it provides efficient data transfer for various network devices, making it suitable for expanding and powering your network infrastructure.
For home use, a simple unmanaged Gigabit switch is all you need to expand your router's ports. Buy a managed switch or a switch with PoE only if you are running security cameras, access points, or complex VLAN setups. Available from $349.95.
Basic unmanaged network switches use negligible power and have zero maintenance costs. PoE (Power over Ethernet) and large managed switches use more electricity but are still relatively cheap to run.
Common Failure Modes
Switches are solid-state devices with high reliability. When they fail, it is usually due to lightning strikes/power surges blowing individual ports or the internal power supply dying.
