Glossary
Bandwidth
The bandwidth of a switch is the maximum amount of traffic that it can handle. Specified in gigabits per second.
This parameter directly depends on the number of network ports in the device (excluding Uplink). Actually, even if the bandwidth is not given in the specifications, it can still be calculated using the following formula: the number of ports multiplied by the bandwidth of an individual port and multiplied by two (since both incoming and outgoing traffic are taken into account). For example, a model with 8 Gigabit Ethernet connectors and 2 SFP ports will have a bandwidth of (8*1 + 2*1)*2 = 20 Gbps.
The choice for this indicator is quite obvious: you need to evaluate the expected traffic volumes in the serviced network segment and make sure that the switch's bandwidth will cover it with a margin of at least 10-15% (this will give an additional guarantee in case of emergency situations). At the same time, if you plan to often work at high, close to maximum, loads, it will not hurt to clarify such a characteristic as the internal bandwidth of the switch. It is usually given in a detailed technical description, and if this value is less than the total throughput, serious problems may arise under significant loads.

Supply voltage
The voltage required by the switch for uninterrupted operation. The power supply voltage of network equipment can range from 5 V to 230 V, allowing compatible devices to be powered either from a computer’s low-voltage USB port or from a standard household outlet. Intermediate values imply that the switch is powered through a corresponding power supply unit.
