3. Netgear Gs108ge

The product line of Netgear Gigabit Unmanaged Switches allows businesses to expand their networks to Gigabit speeds and higher port counts. They are energy-efficient, durable, and undergo rigorous testing to ensure the reliability demanded by businesses. Netgear Unmanaged Switches also support the Energy Efficient Ethernet standard, which reduces power consumption when there is little traffic on an active port or when no links or activities are detected. Additionally, using shorter cables can help save energy. 

4. Ubiquiti UniFi Switch Flex Mini

The Ubiquiti UniFi Switch FLEX Mini (Model USW-Flex-Mini) is a fully managed 5-port Gigabit network switch designed for home and small office environments. This compact white device measures 10.2 cm in width, 3.8 cm in height, and 2.8 cm in depth, weighing 120 g, making it ideal for space-constrained installations such as behind televisions or in media cabinets. It features five RJ45 Ethernet ports with 1-Gigabit support for devices like gaming consoles, streaming devices, and computers. Power options include 802.3af/at Power over Ethernet (PoE) via port 1 or the included 5V, 1A USB Type-C power adapter, eliminating the need for a separate outlet when using PoE. As a managed switch, it offers advanced network management features such as Quality of Service (QoS) for prioritizing critical network traffic, VLAN support for network segmentation, and Link Aggregation for bundling multiple ports. The switch seamlessly integrates into UniFi network systems, enabling device discovery and centralized management through the UniFi Controller interface. Its compact design, flexible power options, and managed features make it suitable for expanding network connectivity in residential environments while maintaining professional network control. 

5. Ubiquiti Flex Mini 3-pack

A compact, 5-port, Layer 2 switch that can be powered with PoE or a 5V USB-C adapter.

6. Ubiquiti Unifi USW-Flex-Mini Duo-Pack

The Ubiquiti Unifi USW-Flex-Mini-Duo-Pack is a set of 2 compact network switches from Ubiquiti. With these small Unifi switches, you can quickly add extra network ports at home or in the office. They are powered via PoE or USB-C, providing you with great flexibility. After installation, deploy the switch using the Unifi controller software or app. This way, you can adjust the settings on the other switches and Unifi access points in your network. 

7. Ubiquiti Us-8-60w

The US-8-60W is an 8-port Gigabit switch with four PoE ports. Auto Sensing PoE ports deliver up to 15.4W of power per port. The US-8 is perfect for cleanly adding Ethernet ports with pass-through when required to power your PoE device. The UniFi switch provides routing capability for simultaneous processing of traffic at all non-packet-switched linear rate ports. A single instance of the cloud-enabled UniFi controller can manage multiple UniFi sites in a central interface. Each site is logically separated and has its own monitoring, configuration, map, statistics and administration accounts.

8. D-Link Dgs-108

The 8-Port D-Link DGS-108 is designed for small and medium-sized businesses with transmission rates of up to 2000 Mbit/s in Gigabit Ethernet, making it ideal for fast file transfers. Each of these ports features two separate color LEDs for quick identification of the connection status. The switch supports the IEEE 802.1p QoS standard and prioritizes data, particularly for streaming, VoIP, and online gaming. With the Kensington security slot on the back, you can secure the device to a table or desk. Thanks to the absence of a fan and the robust metal housing, these silent switches are perfect for offices, libraries, or meeting rooms, as well as vulnerable industrial locations like factories and warehouses.

D-Link Green Technology saves energy and reduces heat generation, thereby extending the product's lifespan without compromising performance. IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) detects when a connected computer is turned off or when there is no Ethernet traffic, allowing it to shut down the port. It also detects the length of the cable used at each port and adjusts its power consumption to use only the energy needed for a good transmission.

The DGS-108 is designed with the environment in mind. It is Energy Star Level V, CEC, and MEPS compliant, requiring the use of cost-effective sector adapters. It also complies with the RoHS standard, which reduces the use of certain materials, and comes with an Energy Star Level V-compatible power supply, all in fully recyclable packaging.
 

9. D-Link Dgs-1008d

This compact switch offers eight plug-and-play ports for small offices, workgroups, and departmental networks with speeds of 10/100/1000 Mbps. The Gigabit switch operates without a fan, making it ideal for use directly at the workplace. The DGS-1008D supports speeds of up to 2000 Mbps (full duplex) and includes flow control according to IEEE 802.3x for fast and continuous data transmission. For time-sensitive applications, the desktop switch supports the 802.1p protocol (QoS). With D-Link Green, we integrate energy-saving features into the DGS-1008D, achieving savings of up to 44% without compromising performance and functionality. Operating costs are reduced, and the lower heat output extends the lifespan of the switch.
