I have 10 miner and i need a switcher now. Kiss

I know that the switcher TP-Link is good but don't know for 10-15 antminer s9 i must buy switcher gigabyte or megabyte is enough?

Any simple 100mbps switch will do. TP-Link is one of the cheapest brands on Earth, and its not exactly "high quality", but it should get the job done. I wouldn't bother with neither gigabit nor "smart" switches, but gigabit wouldn't hurt, or maybe those with just a couple of gigabit ports for cascading.

We are not retail.

I though this would be about power switching.

I have never liked trend net personally. I'd look at netgear (even I eyeroll saying that) or better yet any cicso product.

Block halving is coming.

Check these cheap 2 switchers below good for 10 to 15 miners.

Look at this one it sales today and it ends in 12 hrs before the 37% price discount gone.

100 works well like said above. Because miners are chatty, you just need good gear that can deal with a ton of packets per second. This is because when miners submit packets of data, they barely fill each one as they are sent out.

Search on ebay for used Cisco switches, as older model enterprise gear is perfect for mining

I HIGHLY recommend the Cisco Catalyst WS-C3560G-48PS-E Switch

Also note that as you expand your operation, you will need to be sure you have an adequate router as well

I agree with biffa 100 works you don't need 1 gigabit speed.

I would suggest getting a 24 port over a 16 port as plenty of good ones well under a hundred bucks.
I have 4 of these

with a ten pack of these

100Mbit is fine for miners, you probably want a 16port switch.

If the cost is no different go for gigabits, but technically ASICs don't use that much bandwidth.

Brand wise, any of the mid range brands like tp-link, dlink or Netgear would be fine.
