Choosing between GS524PP and GS324PP

[coops456]

I want to upgrade to a 24-port unmanaged POE+ switch, but I can't decide between GS524PP and GS324PP - they seem to be all but identical.

I've compared the datasheets for each product, the GS324PP is slightly wider and has a extra 80W in its POE power budget. Pricing is very similar.

This matrix is meant to compare the ranges, and describes the 300 series as SOHO and the 500 series as Business, but I don't entirely trust it because it says the 500 series isn't POE, when it clearly is!

Help and advice appreciated 🙂

Power budget as you already spotted, and even more the MTBF is very different hits my eyes.

The comparison from 2017 is a typical example of "to much", one-off, and no longer mantained documentation IMHO.

Yes the MTBF is a good point. I guess that shows the 500 series is the one to go for. Thanks
