Model: GS2220-10HP
from $394.95
The ZyXEL GS2220-10HP is an 8-port Gigabit PoE+ compliant managed switch designed for reliable network connectivity. It features 8 RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet PoE ports and 2 RJ45/SFP combo Gigabit Ethernet WAN ports, offering a robust 180W PoE power budget and a 20 Gb/s switching bandwidth. This rack-mountable switch is ideal for small to medium-sized businesses requiring efficient power delivery and flexible network expansion.
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 $394.95.
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.
