Revision as of 13:13, 7 October 2024
I use a number of network switches in my house and homelab, this page details all of them
TL-SG3428XMP
This is my new main switch, I've wanted it for a long while now. It is fully managed, optionally being integrated in the Omada ecosystem.
It has 24 POE+ ports and 4 SFP+ 10 gigabit ports. It is rather loud with the included fans, so I replaced them both with 40mm Noctuas. It is notable that you can't wire them up in the default way or you get a fan error, thanks to this guy on reddit for describing the solution.
TL-RP108GE
Perhaps my most interesting switch is this TP-Link TL-RP108GE. It is a (managed) switch that is itself powered off POE, and also has a passive POE output, in addition to a standard DC output jack. You can do all sorts of interesting things with this. I use it to provide more physical interfaces to my router.
Mikrotik CRS112-8P-4S-IN
Currently unused. It's a fully managed POE+ Switch.
Mikrotik CSS610-8G-2S+IN
The Mikrotik CSS610-8G-2S+in has two 10 gigabit SFP+ ports, it's currently unused.
Netgear GS516TP
Currently unused. This switch is rather old now, it draws 10-15W with nothing attached! Interestingly it can itself be powered off POE+.
Netgear GS108PE
Powers an Amazon Firestick off a POE port, and is connected to a Nintendo Switch over a non-POE port. This switch is turned off when not in use to save power.
