How to choose switches

Size a switch by port count, uplink speed and total PoE budget. Unmanaged switches are plug-and-play; smart and managed switches add VLANs, monitoring and security features that most business networks need.

Common questions

How much PoE budget do I need?

Add up the power class of every device you'll plug in and leave about 20% headroom. Our PoE budget calculator does the math, port by port and in total.

What's the difference between smart and managed switches?

Smart switches cover the basics such as VLANs and QoS through a simple web page. Fully managed switches add advanced routing, stacking and command-line or cloud management.

Do used switches include rack ears and power cords?

Not always. We confirm accessories on the quote so nothing's missing on install day.
