The Luminex GigaCore 10 Pre-Configured 8-Port Ethernet Switch with Neutrik QUAD MMF features a plug-and-play design that is optimized for live events and touring. This switch can be mounted in a truss, on a wall, or in a rack, which makes it suitable for many applications. Plus, use the easy group function to modify groups, change port settings, or add devices to the network without having to reprogram the entire system. RGB LED indicators and an intuitive web interface help you save time, so you can setup a solid converged network for lighting, audio, and video in just minutes without worrying about bandwidth issues.
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 $2,367.
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.
