- Do I need to configure this switch?
- No. It is unmanaged, so there is no setup, login or software. Plug in power and Ethernet cables and it passes traffic.
- Will it work with my router and devices?
- Yes. Each port auto-negotiates 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps and auto-detects cable type, so it connects to routers, PCs, consoles, printers and NAS drives without settings.
- Does it support PoE for cameras or access points?
- No. It carries data only. Devices that need power over Ethernet need a PoE switch or their own power adapters.
- Can it be rack-mounted?
- No. It is a desktop unit with a plastic case and no rack ears. It sits on a shelf or desk.
- Is it faster than a 10/100 switch?
- Yes, on Gigabit-capable devices. All eight ports run at up to 1000 Mbps, so large file transfers between wired devices are much quicker than on a Fast Ethernet switch.
- Does it make noise?
- No. It has no fan, so it is silent in use.
