from $1,699.99
The ZyXEL XGS3700 Series is a robust 48-port Gigabit Ethernet L2+ network switch designed for high-performance network environments. It features 48 RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports and four 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ uplinks, providing ample connectivity and high-speed data transfer capabilities. This switch supports Layer 4 services and is suitable for organizations requiring a reliable and scalable solution for their network infrastructure, with certifications including BSMI, CE, FCC, and RoHS.
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 $1,699.99.
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.
