The Vigitron MaxiiNet Vi3305 is a compact, managed 4-port 10/100 Mb PoE+ compliant network switch designed for reliable network connectivity. Featuring four RJ45 10/100 Mb/s Ethernet PoE ports, along with one RJ45 and one SFP 10/100 Mb/s Ethernet WAN input, this Layer 2 switch supports both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols. Its durable aluminum construction and broad operating temperature range make it suitable for various indoor and outdoor networking applications where a managed PoE+ solution is needed.
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 $1,034.95.
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.
