Savatreatabvr 0 Posted April 27, 2022 I've asked this question before but now I'm thoroughly confused! To get you caught up I've been installing a LOREX 16 ch system at my apartment complex and I need to run 8 cables underground but the pipe they need to be pulled through is not big enough for all 8 cables. So I went on Amazon and bought a 4 port Gigabit switch (link below) to reduce the number of cables to run through the pipe to 5 cables which would be 4 camera cables plus the one uplink data cable from the switch. But now I'm told I need a 4 port ethernet switch instead of the gigabit switch. What's the difference between the switches and do I need additional equipment? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08MWYZMLW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
