The Ugreen 10-port Gigabit PoE+ switch is available for $37.79 on Amazon, a new record low for the model. That price undercuts many rivals while adding eight PoE+ ports (plus two uplink ports) to a home network. The switch supports the IEEE 802.3at standard, delivering up to 30W per port and a total of 60W, with automatic shutdown of lower-priority ports if that budget is exceeded.
Because it is unmanaged, setup is plug-and-play, and it works with most Ethernet devices, including cameras, extenders, PCs, and consoles. The switch also includes extended power delivery mode for devices up to 820 feet away. While it lacks the configuration options of a managed switch, the combination of price, gigabit speeds, and PoE+ support makes it a practical addition for expanding a smart home network.
