Featuring eight Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports (30W, 802.3at) with a total power budget of 110W, plus one SFP port, this switch is ideal for powering and connecting various network devices. Its passive cooling system and durable plastic construction ensure quiet operation and reliability in a range of operating conditions.
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 $119.99.
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.
