Featuring advanced AV protocols out of the box, the GigaCore 16i 16-Port Multi-Gig PoE++ Compliant Managed AV Network Switch from Luminex helps to serve as the backbone of your fixed converged AV network. Four SFP+ ports each provide up to 10 Gb/s speed fiber links to compatible devices. Additionally, the 12 PoE++ compatible Gigabit Ethernet ports can provide up to 60W of power to compatible devices with a total budget of 450W, allowing you to manage multiple applications on a single network.
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 $3,555.
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.

Network switches are extremely reliable solid-state devices. They are usually replaced because networking speed standards outgrow them, rather than due to hardware failure.
