from $649
The Ubiquiti Pro Max 48-Port Managed Network Switch is a robust solution for high-performance network environments. This rack-mountable (1U) switch features 16x 2.5 GbE RJ45 ports, 32x Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports, and 4x 10 GbE SFP+ ports, offering a substantial 224 Gb/s switching bandwidth. With Layer 3 services supported and a durable steel construction, it's ideal for expanding and managing complex networks requiring a blend of high-speed and standard connectivity.
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 $649.
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.
