This is the broad collection for networking tools and equipment: what you need to build, extend, power and troubleshoot a wired or wireless network. It includes desktop and rack switches, routers, a Wi-Fi range extender, outdoor point-to-point radios, passive PoE injectors, and the testers and small parts that installers use every day.
Switches: speed, ports and management
Fast Ethernet ports run at 100Mbps and Gigabit ports at 1000Mbps, roughly ten times faster. Gigabit is the sensible default for a new office, while Fast Ethernet suits light or older setups. Count your devices, then add spare ports. Unmanaged switches are plug and play; managed switches add VLANs, prioritisation and monitoring, which help with VoIP phones and IP cameras.
PoE: know the standards
| Standard | Power at the switch port | Minimum at the device |
|---|---|---|
| IEEE 802.3af (Type 1) | 15.4W | 12.95W |
| IEEE 802.3at (Type 2, PoE+) | 30W | 25.5W |
| IEEE 802.3bt (Types 3 and 4) | 60W and 100W | 51W and 71.3W |
Standard PoE negotiates with the device first, so a device that does not need PoE is normally left unpowered. Passive PoE injectors, such as the 24V and 48V units here, simply apply a fixed voltage with no negotiation. Check the exact voltage your device requires before connecting, because the wrong voltage can permanently damage it.
Tools and installation parts
- Cable tester: checks every wire after crimping and flags open, shorted or crossed pairs. Use the same wiring standard (T568A or T568B) at both ends.
- Cable tracer and fibre laser pen: find a cable in a bundle or a break in a fibre run.
- RJ45 connectors and keystone jacks: keep the twist in the pairs close to the connector for good signal quality.

Frequently asked questions
Switch or router?
A switch connects devices inside your network. A router connects the network to the internet.
Can I use any PoE injector with any device?
No. Passive injectors must match the device voltage.
Is Gigabit worth it?
For file transfers, backups and new installs, yes.
