How many switch ports should I buy?

Count the endpoints that will connect today, add the APs, phones and cameras that draw PoE, then leave headroom — a closet that's near-full at 24 ports is usually better served by a 48-port switch. Use the Network ports facet to filter to the size you need.

Do I need a managed or a Layer 3 switch?

Specify a managed switch anywhere you need VLANs, QoS, 802.1X or monitoring. Choose Layer 3 when the switch has to route between VLANs or act as a collapsed core; a pure access closet can stay Layer 2. Both are facets on the grid.

Are these switches §889-screened?

Network gear is screened for NDAA §889 status per line before it ships on a federal order. Send your shortlist as a quote, ask for TAA verification, and we attach it for each SKU.

Network Switches

Access, aggregation and core switches — filtered by port count, speed, switching layer and management model.

A switch buy is defined by four numbers before any brand enters the conversation: how many ports, at what speed, at which switching layer, and whether it's managed. Get those right for the closet or rack and the model shortlist writes itself. This hub locks the catalog to switches and bridges and puts port count, port speed, switching layer and management on the filter rail.

Listings are live and priced, each with an in-stock or back-ordered badge. Switching gear stock moves quickly with distribution — send your shortlist as a quote and we confirm current availability, country of origin and a project total before you commit.

Buyer's checklist

How to size a switch

Count active ports and leave headroom: a 24-port closet that's near-full today should be specced at 48 to absorb growth and PoE devices.
Match access-port speed to the endpoints (1 GbE is still fine for most desks; 2.5 GbE for Wi-Fi 6E/7 APs) and uplink speed to the aggregation tier (10/25/40 GbE).
Choose the switching layer for the role — Layer 2 for a pure access closet, Layer 3 where the switch routes between VLANs or replaces a distribution router.
Specify managed switches anywhere you need VLANs, QoS, monitoring or 802.1X; unmanaged is only appropriate for the simplest fixed segments.
Budget PoE correctly: total the powered devices (APs, phones, cameras) and confirm the switch's PoE/PoE+/PoE++ power budget covers them with margin.
Confirm mounting, airflow direction and redundant-power options match the rack or closet.
Every line is screened for NDAA §889 status before it ships on a federal order — TAA verified on request.

Managed vs unmanaged, Layer 2 vs Layer 3

Management and switching layer are the two decisions that most shape both capability and price. A managed switch gives you VLAN segmentation, QoS, port security, 802.1X and the telemetry a monitored network needs; an unmanaged switch is a plug-and-forget commodity appropriate only for the simplest, static segments. For any environment with security or compliance requirements, managed is effectively mandatory.

The Layer 2 versus Layer 3 choice follows the switch's role. An access-layer switch that hands traffic up to a router or firewall can be Layer 2. A switch that routes between VLANs, participates in dynamic routing or acts as a collapsed core needs Layer 3. Filter the grid by both facets to see only the switches that fit the tier you're buying for.
