Advertised switching capacity Aggregate switching capacity explicitly stated by the manufacturer. Do not treat a full-duplex aggregate as one port speed or calculate an undocumented rating from port count.	60 Gb/sZyxel's aggregate figure for the nine-port switch; it is not the speed of one port.

Questions to check before buying	Zyxel's US table lists 9.12 W maximum for both the five- and eight-port non-PoE models; confirm the rating on the delivered unit's label. The reviewed Amazon US listing names XMG-108 without a Zyxel SKU suffix or an established seller, and a second Amazon US listing also names XMG-108; the plug type was not verified. XMG-108 is not the PoE XMG-108HP, the earlier MG-108 without an SFP+ slot or the XGS1010-12. SFP+ module compatibility is not established here.
