Model: SG3428XPP-M2
from $719.99
Expand your office or business network capacity with the Omada SG3428XPP-M2 24-Port 2.5G PoE++ Compliant Managed Network Switch from TP-Link . This managed switch features twenty-four 2.5G Ethernet ports, eight of which provide up to 60W PoE+ while the remaining 16 provide 30W with a 500W budget to operate compatible devices such as IP security cameras, access points, and VoIP phones. The switch's built-in power management system will automatically turn off lower priority ports to ensure high-priority devices remain powered and to protect against power overload.
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 $719.99.
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.
