When I google “switch port colors” I only get results for the blinking lights corresponding to the ports, not the colors themselves.
I’m thinking of buying this exact switch, but I’m unsure if the colors on the actual ports mean anything? I’m setting up Google Nest for my parents and they need additional ethernet ports, hence why I’m here, but I’m not sure if the ports colors have any actual meaning?
I’m very, *very*, beginner at networking and stuff but from what I know, one ethernet cable goes in, presumably in one of the green sockets, and can then extend outwards into multiple other ports, yeah?
I honestly have barely any idea what I’m doing but yeah, all I really wanna know is if the socket colors have any significant meaning, thank you.
It depends on the device
Usually green means 1000mbps and orange means slower. But that’s not a guarantee and won’t be true on 100mb devices, where it’s likely to be 100 and 10
