The Dahua switch is useful for creating or expanding a wired network. If the ethernet ports on your router are not enough for the wired connections of all your devices, a switch will help you. It is unmanaged, meaning it does not offer the ability to configure its settings, which makes it more economical.

It is mainly recommended for:

• Simple users who just want to expand their small, home network
• Small businesses without special requirements

It has 10 ethernet ports with a maximum speed of 100Mbps. It features Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology, which allows it to simultaneously transmit power and data through an Ethernet cable. You need to know how much power your devices draw before choosing a switch with PoE.

This particular switch features:

• PoE (802.3af)
• PoE+ (802.3at), suitable for high power requirements of devices such as:
• IP video phones
• HD PTZ IP cameras
• 802.11ac (WiFi 5) AP
• small audio speakers

It can be rack-mounted, making it suitable for placement alongside others, providing many ports for an office network.
