Ethernet Switches & Network Switches
Shop Ethernet switches at Aus Electronics Direct to expand your wired network at home, in the office or in a commercial environment. A network switch connects multiple Ethernet-enabled devices through your local area network (LAN), helping you connect computers, printers, network storage and other compatible equipment.
Choose from 5-port and 8-port Ethernet switches, Gigabit network switches and Power over Ethernet (PoE) models, depending on your networking requirements and available products. Gigabit switches support network connections up to 1,000 Mbps on compatible ports and devices, while PoE switches can supply power to compatible equipment over Ethernet cabling.
How to Choose an Ethernet Switch
Port count: Choose enough Ethernet ports for your existing devices and allow for future expansion. Remember that one port is typically used to connect the switch to your existing network.
Network speed: A Gigabit Ethernet switch is suitable for networks that require connections up to 1 Gbps, provided the connected devices and cables support that speed.
PoE capability: Consider a PoE network switch if you need to power compatible devices, such as IP cameras or wireless access points, over Ethernet. Check the supported PoE standard and total power budget before purchasing.
Managed or unmanaged: An unmanaged switch is generally suitable for straightforward plug-and-play networking. A managed switch is appropriate when you need features such as VLAN configuration, monitoring or more advanced network control, if available in the range.
Pair your Ethernet switch with suitable [Ethernet network cables] and [Wi-Fi routers] to build or expand your wired network. Check the product specifications to ensure the switch meets your speed, port and power requirements.
