A network switch is device that connects multiple computers or smart home accessories such as lights, heating, cameras or storage in the home; or for connecting PCs, workstations, servers, storage and IP-enabled security or surveillance devices within a business environment. Each scenario allows communication within the home or organisation and shares and access the Internet connection to the wider world.

These switches are ideal for businesses, where faster network speeds and comprehensive traffic management is required, with some offering Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) support to ease device placement and reduce cabling.

These switches are ideal for the small business, where faster network speeds and some degree of traffic management is required, with some offering Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) support to ease device placement and reduce cabling.

Wireless access points (WAPs) are standalone devices designed to be connected to a wired router or plug socket in the case of HomePlug WAPs, to provide wireless access for portable devices such as laptops and smart phones. In the home access points are usually built in a broadband router, however in business separate access points are common as they offer flexibility of placement (often featuring PoE technology) and better coverage when multiple units are deployed.

These access points’ range and speeds will vary depending on the wireless standard they are based on - either 802.11be (Wi-Fi 7), 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6 / Wi-Fi 6E), 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5) or 802.11n (Wi-Fi 4).

Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard which allows two-way data transfer over short distances between electronic devices and computers. Originating in 1998, since then Bluetooth has evolved into various revisions, adding support for progressively higher transfer rates, improved security and additional features.

These Bluetooth adaptors add Bluetooth connectivity to devices without it built-in, via a USB connection. They are popular for connecting wireless keyboards and mice.

A broadband connection into the home is now almost a given’s more devices such as smart phones, tablets, laptops, PCs, smart TVs, heating, lighting and security devices are increasingly able to take advantage of an Internet connection for online gaming, remote operation or monitoring.

These routers are designed for the more serious home user or small business where wired connectivity for non-portable devices is favoured over all devices taking up wireless bandwidth. For wireless devices a separate stand lone access point would be connected to the wired router.

A broadband connection into the home is now almost a given’s more devices such as smart phones, tablets, laptops, PCs, smart TVs, heating, lighting and security devices are increasingly able to take advantage of an Internet connection for online gaming, remote operation or monitoring. A broadband router with increasingly powerful wireless capabilities is key to home and smart home connectivity.

These routers are based on the 802.11ac wireless standard (Wi-Fi 5) and offer greater speed and range than previous 802.11n (Wi-Fi 4) routers. They feature dual-band (2.4GHz / 5GHz) capability for segregating device connections for better performance, although it is important to remember that quoted Mbps speeds per bandwidth cannot be combined.

Docking stations extend the functionality of laptops, adding more USB ports for peripherals and display ports for external monitors. Some docking stations also add a RJ45 LAN port, useful if your thin and light laptop doesn't have a port of its own.

A network card is designed to connect a laptop, PC, workstation or server to a network, enabling communication with other internal users via network switches or access points; and the outside world via a router.

These external devices are designed for an external USB port of a system, feature RJ45 ports and will provide wired connectivity based on Ethernet at speeds up to 1Gb/s.

NVIDIA Networking (formerly Mellanox) is the market leader in high-speed network connectivity, with its innovative products being the number one choice for AI, HPC and other low-latency, high-bandwidth workloads.

Scan is an NVIDIA Elite Partner, working closely with NVIDIA to offer the complete range of products, which are also the key ingredient of our award-winning 3XS Systems servers and workstations.

The NVIDIA LinkX product family of cables provides a complete line of Ethernet and InfiniBand products for Cloud, HPC, Enterprise, telco, storage, AI and datacentre applications. LinkX cables are used to link top-of-rack switches downwards to SmartNICs, SuperNICs and DPUs in servers and storage appliances and / or upwards in switch-to-switch applications throughout the network infrastructure.

Memory cards are a type of portable flash storage device that are commonly used in portable electronic devices such as digital cameras, some mobile phones and various handheld devices.

These card readers may be compact with a single type of slot or feature numerous slots to make them compatible with all the different types of card and older standards too such as Compact Flash. They all connect via USB to transfer data.

A broadband connection into the home is now almost a given’s more devices such as smart phones, tablets, laptops, PCs, smart TVs, heating, lighting and security devices are increasingly able to take advantage of an Internet connection for online gaming, remote operation or monitoring. A broadband router with increasingly powerful wireless capabilities is key to home and smart home connectivity.

These routers are designed for the larger home where coverage from a standard router access point may be insufficient. Mesh access points work to create a more expansive coverage area by working together to reduce dead spots and create more consistent coverage. Overall speed, however will still be governed by the wireless standard the system is based on - either 802.11be (Wi-Fi 7), 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6 / Wi-Fi 6E), 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5) or 802.11n (Wi-Fi 4).

HomePlug devices are designed to transmit a network signal over the mains power cabling within your home. They offer an alternative to wireless technologies in areas where there may be obstacles to good wireless coverage - thick walls, line-of-sight or other interference. Much like wireless technologies, subsequent generation have increased in speed. HomePlug adapters can feature multiple network ports for greater connectivity options or a wireless access point enable portable devices in a distant part of your home.

These HomePlug adapters are based on the AV2 standard supporting speeds of up to 1.3Gbits per second.

Each scenario allows communication within the home or organisation and shares and access the Internet connection to the wider world.

These switches are ideal for businesses, where demanding applications require significantly faster network speeds and comprehensive traffic management is required.

Media converters act to change one type of connecting protocol to another, for example Ethernet to fibre.
