5. Ubiquiti Us-8-60w
The US-8-60W is an 8-port Gigabit switch with four PoE ports. Auto Sensing PoE ports deliver up to 15.4W of power per port. The US-8 is perfect for cleanly adding Ethernet ports with pass-through when required to power your PoE device. The UniFi switch provides routing capability for simultaneous processing of traffic at all non-packet-switched linear rate ports. A single instance of the cloud-enabled UniFi controller can manage multiple UniFi sites in a central interface. Each site is logically separated and has its own monitoring, configuration, map, statistics and administration accounts.
6. TP-Link TL-SG105
Easy Handling
This switch requires no configuration. Auto-MDI/MDIX eliminates the need for crossover cables, and auto-negotiation on each port detects the connection speed of a network device (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) and intelligently adjusts to ensure compatibility and optimal performance.
Gigabit Switch
This allows power users at home, in the office, in a workgroup, or in a creative production environment to transfer large, bandwidth-intensive files more quickly. Send documents, programs, or multimedia files over the network without delay at speeds up to 2000 Mbps in full duplex mode.
Traffic Optimization
QoS (Quality of Service) enables smooth and latency-free data traffic for voice and video. IGMP snooping optimizes multicast data streams, especially for applications like IPTV, ensuring a better networking experience.
7. D-Link Dgs-108
The 8-Port D-Link DGS-108 is designed for small and medium-sized businesses with transmission rates of up to 2000 Mbit/s in Gigabit Ethernet, making it ideal for fast file transfers. Each of these ports features two separate color LEDs for quick identification of the connection status. The switch supports the IEEE 802.1p QoS standard and prioritizes data, particularly for streaming, VoIP, and online gaming. With the Kensington security slot on the back, you can secure the device to a table or desk. Thanks to the absence of a fan and the robust metal housing, these silent switches are perfect for offices, libraries, or meeting rooms, as well as vulnerable industrial locations like factories and warehouses.
D-Link Green Technology saves energy and reduces heat generation, thereby extending the product's lifespan without compromising performance. IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) detects when a connected computer is turned off or when there is no Ethernet traffic, allowing the port to shut down. It also recognizes the length of the cable used at each port and adjusts its performance to use only the energy necessary for good transmission.
The DGS-108 is designed with the environment in mind. It is Energy Star Level V, CEC, and MEPS compliant, requiring the use of cost-effective sector adapters. It also meets RoHS standards, which reduce the use of certain materials, and comes with an Energy Star Level V-compatible power supply, all in fully recyclable packaging.
8. TP-Link LS1005G
- Plug-and-Play: Thanks to the plug-and-play design, the product is easy to use. No configuration is required. Additionally, Auto MDI/MDIX eliminates the need for crossover cables.
- Green Ethernet technology saves energy: It automatically adjusts power consumption based on connection status and cable length to limit the network's carbon footprint. This not only reduces energy consumption but also lowers costs.
- Always ready for you: Compatible with almost all network devices, such as computers, printers, webcams, and IPTVs.
- Fanless design: For quiet operation.
9. Ubiquiti USW-LITE-8-POE
The USW-Lite-8-PoE is a fully managed Layer 2 switch with eight Gigabit Ethernet ports for your RJ45 Ethernet devices. Four of the ports also provide 802.3at PoE+ with automatic detection, delivering a total PoE power of 52 W for UniFi access points or other PoE devices.
