Types of Gigabit Network Switches

We stock a wide range of Gigabit Network Switches to suit different setups and budgets. Whether you're building out a small workgroup or scaling to enterprise-level requirements, you’ll find the right switch size and type:

  • 8 Port Gigabit Switches – Ideal for home offices or small device clusters

  • 16 Port & 24 Port Gigabit Switches – Perfect for growing SMBs and departments

  • 48 Port Gigabit Switches – Built for high-density enterprise environments

Managed vs Unmanaged Gigabit Switches

Depending on your IT needs, choose from Managed Switches that offer VLANs, traffic prioritization, and remote control, or Unmanaged Switches that keep things simple with plug-and-play functionality.

PoE and Non-PoE Options

Our gigabit range includes both PoE switches and Non-PoE switches. A PoE gigabit switch can power devices like IP cameras or VoIP phones directly via the Ethernet cable—eliminating the need for separate power sources.

Advanced Options: 10 Gigabit and Wireless Gigabit Switches

For future-ready performance, consider a 10 Gigabit Switch—especially for environments handling large data files or supporting high-speed servers. And for added flexibility, some solutions now include wireless gigabit switches, allowing hybrid networks with both wired and wireless connections.

FAQs – Gigabit Switches

1: What is a gigabit switch?

It’s a network switch that supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds, offering faster and more reliable data transfer compared to standard 10/100 switches.

2: What's the difference between PoE and non-PoE gigabit switches?
+

PoE switches supply power to connected devices via Ethernet cables, while non-PoE switches only transmit data.

3: Should I choose a managed or unmanaged gigabit switch?
+

Managed switches are great for larger networks that require control, security, and monitoring. Unmanaged switches are ideal for basic, plug-and-play setups.

4: Is a 10-Gigabit Switch necessary for my network?
+

If you're working with high-speed storage, streaming large files, or using bandwidth-heavy applications, a 10-Gigabit Switch is a great investment.

5: Can I use a gigabit switch with older devices?
+

Yes, gigabit switches are backwards compatible with 10/100 Mbps devices.
