HANSUN Modular Network Switches vs Fixed Network Switches
These fixed-configuration switches have a fixed number of ports like 24-port Gigabit switch, 48-port Gigabit network switch.
In contrast, the modular switch allows users to add expansion modules as needed into the Gigabit Ethernet switches. For example, the modules that support security, wireless connectivity and more can be added.
Unmanaged Gigabit Switches vs Managed Gigabit Switches
Designed to be plug and play with no configuration needed, these unmanaged Gigabit switches are typically representative of home networks and small businesses.
The managed Gigabit switches support the higher levels of security, scalability, precision control and management of your network, so the managed Gigabit switches are often applied in large networks.
Standalone Switches vs Stackable Switches
A standalone Gigabit switch is managed and configured with a set capacity. The standalone switches need to be configured individually, and troubleshooting also needs to be handled on an individual basis.
One great advantage of stackable Gigabit switches is increasing capacity and network availability. And stackable switch allows for multiple switches to be configured as though they were one entity. In case of any part of the stack fails, these stackable switches will automatically reroute around the failure without affecting the data transmission.
PoE vs Non-PoE Gigabit Switches
PoE Gigabit switches can power a device like an IP camera or wireless access point over the same Ethernet cable, which greatly increases the flexibility of connected systems. A PoE Gigabit switch is great for wireless networks, while a non-PoE switch can not perform well in a wireless network because a non-PoE Gigabit switch only transmits data through Ethernet cables.
