Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between professional and consumer switches?
Professional switches typically offer better build quality, longer warranties, advanced management features, VLAN support, and higher reliability ratings. They're designed for 24/7 operation and often include rack-mounting hardware, while consumer switches focus on plug-and-play simplicity.
Do I need a managed or unmanaged switch?
Choose managed switches if you need network monitoring, VLAN configuration, traffic prioritization, or security features. Unmanaged switches work well for simple setups where devices just need basic connectivity without special configuration requirements.
How much PoE power do I need?
Standard PoE provides up to 15.4W per port, PoE+ delivers up to 30W, and PoE++ can supply 60-90W. Check your devices' power requirements - basic IP phones need standard PoE, while wireless access points and PTZ cameras often require PoE+ or higher.
What uplink options should I look for?
Most professional switches include dedicated uplink ports (often SFP or SFP+ slots) for fiber connections or higher-speed copper links to other switches or routers. Consider your backbone connection requirements and future bandwidth needs when evaluating uplink capabilities.
