Broadbandbuyer's Ethernet switches range from unmanaged switches for simple networks to fully managed Layer 3 switches that operate as your LAN's backbone in large networks.
What is the difference between Ethernet switches?
- Unmanaged swiches are inexpensive and offer basic switching functionality. With plug-and-play configuration, unmanaged switches are ideal for a small and simple network.
- Smart switches deliver entry level management and expandability without the cost and complexity of a full managed/Layer 3 managed switch. Smart switches fill the gap between unmanaged and fully managed switches and are built specifically for the small to mid-size business.
- Green Ethernet switches offer real cost benefits through their power-saving functionality.
- Managed switches offer best-in-class, wire-speed performance and management control to identify bottlenecks or errors, optimise performance for data and voice, prioritise traffic and more.
- Layer 3 Switches do everything managed switch equivalents do while delivering maximum throughput and flexibility where you need it - be it high-speed, high-density workgroups at the edge of the network, in the backbone of growing networks or for bandwidth thirsty file and application servers. Layer 3 switching functionality ensures reliable routing between VLANs and network segmentation. Robust security, Quality of Service, and management features deliver intelligent edge connectivity for essential business applications.
- PoE Switches enable you to provide power to compatible PoE devices directly from the switch via the ethernet cable therefore removing the need for a power supply local to the device. Commonly used for VoIP phones and IP cameras.
