Switch port count.

Also written 8 port switch, 16 port switch, 24 port switch, 48 port switch.

8, 16, 24 or 48 ports: which switch?

Count every device that plugs in, add the uplinks, then leave a fifth of the ports spare. Eight and sixteen suit a shop, a clinic or a camera run; twenty four is one floor's worth of desks; forty eight is a full patch panel pair in one unit. Ports are cheaper than a second switch, and a spare port never needs a cable re-run.
