Ubiquiti UniFi USW-LITE-16-POE

This Is A Perfect Network Switch – This is all that you need for a general household - 16 ports is generally enough to cover most systems.

to 45 watts to those POE devices.

This is a managed switch which means that you can look at it on a webpage and see what is connected, connection speed, status etc. I have found that it was very handy to label all of the ports in software rather than having physical labels on ethernet cables. You can also have a mobile phone app to interrogate the switch / network if you want. Having said all of that, if you just want to plug and play, you can do that too. Frankly though, if you just wanted a dumb switch you probably wouldn't spend the money on this switch.

The switch is small and good looking, and it comes with a wall mounting bracket if you want to do that.

Overall, a solid 5 star piece of kit.
