What to consider when buying a switch?
There are various factors to consider when choosing a network switch, such as the management, number of ports and power requirements.Managed vs. Unmanaged PoE Switches: Which is Best?
When searching for the right PoE switch in Nigeria, you’ll come across two main types: managed and unmanaged.| Feature | Managed PoE Switches | Unmanaged PoE Switches |
|---|---|---|
| Control | Advanced configuration options | Plug-and-play simplicity |
| VLAN support | Yes | No |
| QoS (Quality of Service) | Yes | No |
| Remote management | Yes | No |
| Security features | Advanced (e.g., 802.1X, ACLs) | Basic |
| Typical use case | Large offices, schools, hospitals | Small businesses, home offices |
| Cost | Higher | Lower |
| Skill level required | Intermediate to advanced | Beginner |
Number of Ports You Need
Selecting the right number of ports is crucial for your PoE switch. Here’s a practical guide to help you choose the right number of ports:| Business Type | Recommended Ports | Examples |

Power over Ethernet FAQ’s
Difference between a PoE switch and a normal switch
A PoE (Power over Ethernet) switch supplies both data and electrical power through a single Ethernet cable, whereas a normal switch only provides data connectivity.
What devices need a PoE switch?
Devices like IP phones, security cameras, wireless access points, and some IoT devices benefit from a PoE switch because they need both power and network connectivity via Ethernet.
Difference between PoE and PoE+
PoE provides up to 15.4 watts of power per port, while PoE+ delivers up to 25.5 watts. PoE+ is suitable for devices that need more power, like advanced IP cameras with pan, tilt, and zoom features or wireless access points.
Can you plug a laptop into a PoE switch?
Yes, you can plug a laptop into a PoE switch, but it will only receive data, not power. PoE switches won’t damage devices that don’t support PoE, as they only supply power when needed.
Do PoE switches use a lot of power?
PoE switches are generally efficient, only supplying power to connected devices that need it. However, the total power consumption depends on the number of devices and their individual power needs.
