The ZyXEL GS1100 8-Port GbE Unmanaged PoE Switch with GbE Uplink is a reliable networking solution designed for efficient data transfer and power delivery. This unmanaged switch features eight RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet ports with a 130W PoE power budget, alongside two SFP GbE uplink ports for expanded connectivity. With a switching bandwidth of 20 Gbps and support for 9000-byte jumbo frames, it ensures smooth network performance, making it ideal for small to medium-sized businesses needing to power and connect multiple devices like IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points.
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.
