Are you out of ethernet ports? Need to connect more stuff to your router? Then, friend, you need to get yourself a managed network switch.

A switch merely helps Ethernet devices exchange packets between each other on the same level – it’s typically nowhere near as smart as a router gets.

Ethernet splitters and switches have their own merits, but ultimately one is more convenient and efficient.

In an environment where you need to connect multiple systems, having the best rack-mounted ethernet switch can make a world of difference.
