Product Information

You could go on several other forums and get a complete different list of preferred switches - why isn't this a regular Tom's Hardware complete comparison? Surge Protection to Improve Reliability in Harsh Environment. The built-in surge protection device protects the switch from the sudden lightning surge in harsh environment. After what seems like an eternity, network devices are finally beginning to embrace faster-than-gigabit connections. From routers to modems, computers to NAS, big data pipelines are starting to enter the mainstream. And that’s a good thing, particularly as we now use more data than ever before. It’s even possible to get a 2 Gbps connection now if you live in one of the cities where Google is now offering the service. ports SmartRate 100M/1G/2.5G/5G BaseT Class 8 PoE ports supporting up to 90W per port (on port 1-12), and Class 6 POE ports supporting up to 60W per port (on ports 13-48) EMC FCC (47 CFR Part 15, Subpart B),CE-EMC (EN 55032: 2015+A11: 2020, EN IEC 61000-3-2: 2019, EN 61000-3-3: 2013+A1: 2019, EN 50130-4: 2011+A1: 2014, EN 55035: 2017+A11: 2020),IC (ICES-003: Issue 7:2020),RCM (AS/NZS CISPR 32: 2015)

The TP-Link LiteWave Unmanaged Switches provide the simplest and most affordable way to expand your wired network. Just plug and play! High-performance 880 Gbps system switching capacity, 660 MPPS of system throughput, and redundant, hot swappable power supplies and fans. Speed and power for users and IoT Intelligent PoE Management. When the power supply exceeds the limit, PoE ports intelligently manage the power supply, which extends the switch lifetime.

IP Camera, Wifi Access points… If you’re looking to power multiple PD devices, this is THE one to get. The one notable omission from this network switch is loop detection, which prevents your network being slowed to a crawl or disabled entirely by looped network traffic. This can be a very important troubleshooting tool in a complicated network, with visual indicators on a switch that tell you which Ethernet ports to investigate for issues. The switch did well in testing, putting up numbers slightly better than the QNAP on its 2.5 Gb ports, while its gigabit ports performed very well. Under heavy traffic, we saw no performance loss, which is to be expected given its total bandwidth of 66 Gbps. The ZyXel was the second-hottest of the switches tested, peaking at 100 degrees Fahrenheit under load - which is definitely going to be warm to the touch, but not concerningly so. Just make sure the box has a bit of ventilation. Along with its 8-port sibling - the TL-SG108-M2 - the TL-SG105-M2 is low-profile, easy to set up, and features a fanless design and metal enclosure that will keep it as quiet as it is fast. And because it’s a 2.5 GbE switch, you might not need to buy new cabling; as long as you’re already using Cat 5e cabling in your network, you’re good to take advantage of the 802.3bz network protocol, which promises 2.5 GbE or 5 GbE connections over 100 meters of cable. In testing, this bore out, with super fast file transfers that didn’t even blink when we loaded the network down with as much traffic as we could muster. The switch ran a little warm though, topping out at about 115 degrees Fahrenheit.

Convenient built-in wire speed 10/25/50GbE uplinks, high-density SFP+, and choice of HPE Smart Rate multi-gig with 90W PoE on every port. Scalable growth made simple In between 8-and-16-port switches, you have some funky units like this ZyXel XGS1010-12. It’s billed on the box as a desktop switch with 8 gigabit ports and four bonus ports in the form of two 2.5 GbE and two 10 GbE SFT+ uplink ports. The latter fiber Internet customers would recognize as the data port on a fiber ONT (Optical Network Terminator -- think of it like a Fiber modem for customers without last-mile copper). Provide high levels of performance, scalability, and cost-effectiveness that SMBs require from their 10G networking solutions.
