Everything we supply

Ubiquiti

Ubiquiti UniFi USW-Flex-2.5G-8-PoE

Eight-port PoE switch with a 10 GbE RJ45/SFP+ combination uplink, in a desktop shell meant for deployment outside a wiring closet. That uplink is the reason to pick it over a cheaper eight-port unit.

Unverified: Port speed and total PoE budget. The retailer listing described the access ports as 10/100/1000 while naming the model 2.5G, and gave no PoE wattage at all. Confirm both against Ubiquiti documentation before publishing this row.

Ubiquiti

Ubiquiti UniFi USW-Flex-2.5G-5

Five 2.5GbE ports, managed through UniFi. The sensible upgrade once a NAS and a desktop both have 2.5G and a gigabit switch has become the bottleneck between them.

TP-Link

TP-Link TL-SG108E 8-Port Gigabit Easy Smart Switch

Eight gigabit ports with VLAN, QoS and IGMP snooping in a fanless metal case. The usual starting point when a flat home network needs segmenting without moving to a full managed stack.

TP-Link

TP-Link TL-SG108PE 8-Port Gigabit PoE+ Easy Smart Switch

The same eight gigabit ports as the SG108E, with four of them supplying PoE+ across a 64 W budget. Enough to run a pair of access points and a couple of cameras without separate power bricks.
