Switches

What is a switch? If you have a cable that runs somewhere in your home and office, and you want to split that cable to serve multiple computers, printers, or other network devices, you need a switch. This saves you the hassle of running additional cables. HOWEVER, be aware that switches do slightly degrade the performance of your network, so they should only be used when necessary. Businesses larger than 15 devices may have additional switch needs such as managed switching and VLANs. Ensure you get a Gigabit switch for today's modern applications. These are 8 port, 16 port, and 24 port options.
