Ugreen is a brand that feels ubiquitous on Amazon these days, with decently priced and well-designed hardware on sale, from wall chargers to peripherals, including network switches like this one. This 10-port switch offers the PoE+ standard (IEEE 802.3at) that offers up to 30W of power per port.
That means faster, newer devices can connect to this switch, delivering both power and data over a single Ethernet cable. The switch supports 60W in total, but it works in a cascade system. If power draw exceeds 60W, it'll shut down ports to prevent overload, from port 8 down to port 1. It auto-detects PoE devices, too, so it won't inadvertently short out a normal network device like your PC or laptop. It also supports an extended power delivery mode that lets you connect devices up to 820 feet away.
The Ugreen 10-port PoE+ network switch offers Gigabit speeds and 30W per-port of power over each Ethernet cable across eight different ports, with two ports used as uplink ports for data connection to your main network.
This is the ultimate device for supporting a smart home network. PoE switches are useful for network-attached cameras, additional WiFi extenders, and smart home hubs and sensors. This Ugreen switch is unmanaged, so a huge setup process isn't required here, and it should work immediately with your existing kit. That means it lacks the extra customization that a more expensive managed switch can offer, but for most users, that won't be a problem.
It'll work with almost any Ethernet-ready device you own, too, even those that don't take advantage of the power delivery provided by this switch. That includes laptops and PCs, NAS drives, game consoles, printers, and TVs.
Another important feature here, too, is speed. This switch offers gigabit speeds across your network, meaning you can banish lag and WiFi latency issues while you're gaming and streaming. An Ethernet connection using this switch will help you to max out the bandwidth provided by your internet provider, with the switch offering two uplink ports that you can use to connect to your existing network.
Fanless, with built-in lightning protection, and compressed into a compact chassis just 6.6 x 3.7 x 1.3 inches in size, this Ugreen PoE+ switch is the ultimate home network upgrade. The $37.97 sale price for this 10-port Ugreen switch is available for a limited time only, however, so if you're interested, you'll need to order it soon.
