Ethernet Switches
Can I daisy-chain two Ethernet switches off an HB8 and will I see any loss of speed or bandwidth? The first switch has two ports in use and is about 15 feet from the gateway. The second switch is is about 50 feet away and will have two ports in use. On the second switch port #1 will have a 10 ft run and port #2 will have a 20 ft run. The cable is CAT 6A
Thank you,
ctg

Yes. You may see a small loss of speed and bandwidth, especially if you have multiple devices consuming heavy bandwidth simultaneously. If you have 500 to gigabit speeds, you probably wouldn't notice

Greetings @controltestguy, I would not differ from anything that @EG stated. Did your game plan end up working out for your intentions?
