Switches

You need a switch to create a Router-to-PC or PC-to-PC network in your home or office. Usually, switches are used for connecting multiple devices on a network. Several switches are available in the market and the leading industry names include Cisco, Netgear, Linksys, DLink and others.

Some of the different types of switches include:

PoE switch

Power over Ethernet (PoE) switches are powered by the same wire over which data is being transferred. These switches are specifically used in CCTV camera home network and LAN access points.

Smart Switches

Ideal for smaller networks, smart switches can easily be configured with a simple interface.

Transceivers and SFP Modules

Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers are small and compact devices that support high data transfer rates. These are beneficial in networks where end points are at a greater distance from each other.

Managed Switches

They provide advanced control to the administrator. Mainly used in business and educational networks, managed switches can be configured for denial of service, VLAN formation, and other similar control mechanisms.
