My Ubiquity UniFi Home/Business Network

I purchased a Ubiquity UniFi Switch 16 XG in the summer of 2019 for my home-based business and network. I use my network HEAVILY and it is spread across my house and in my garage. I have servers in the garage that need a fast link to the rest of the network in my house.

I have my main desktop pc that I have also hooked to the network via 10GB SFP+ using a fiber cable ran to the Ubiquity UniFi Switch 16 XG. I also have a Ubiquity UniFi 48 Port 500W POE+ switch, but it only has (2) SFP 1GB SFP ports, and (2) 10GB SFP+ ports so I would only be able to connect my pc and the other switch.

My garage has another Ubiquity UniFi 48 Port 500W POE+ switch so the two are linked via 10GB SFP+ via 10GB OM3 Multimode fiber optic cable.

Yes, the Ubiquity UniFi Switch 16 XG is a bit overkill, as I only needed a few more SFP+ ports, but there are not many other options out there, and for future expansion the Ubiquity UniFi Switch 16 XG made the most sense!

I have the Ubiquity UniFi Switch 16 XG Linked to my Ubiquity UniFi 48 Port 500W POE+ switch via a DAC cable, then I also have a server next to that network rack hooked up via DAC cable also, then the 3rd port I am using on the Ubiquity UniFi Switch 16 XG is the one going to my main desktop pc so it has a 10GBPS link to my main server and rest of the network which makes it great for file transfers between my desktop pc and file server.

So my home business network consists of:

Infinity Basslink Blown? Easy Resistor Fix.

Today I discovered the Infinity Basslink all in one amp/subwoofer that was in my wife’s car was nonfunctional, after some further research the culprit is a couple of resistors that typically burn out on the circuit board.

You can find those resistors on Amazon for ~$6 here (yes in bulk quantity and you only really need 2)

While you only need 2, unless you have some of the exact 3.3K Ohm, 1/2 watt +/- 5% resistors laying around the cheapest option is to buy 100 of them on amazon.

I have ordered these, and already desoldered the old burned-out ones and tested them and verified they are no longer reading the right values. I will do a follow-up article and maybe a full write up once I receive the resistors in 2 days.

Also did a check buying the parts from Digikey, If you have other parts to order then it may be a better deal but they are about 6 cents a piece from Digikey and then you have to pay a minimum of $5 shipping or so, so it still works out to be cheaper/faster from amazon.

If you have no other need for that many resistors, as in no other electronics projects they could be used in you can pick up a 10 pack on amazon for $5.42 at the time of this post. But keep in mind, I chose the 100 pack as that puts the cost per resistor down to $0.06 the same as Digikey and that’s not counting shipping
