I've learned it really depends on the device. It's completely a mixed bag, and that's why I can't trust it. Half the time it lasts over a decade, the other half less than a year. For example, I got their "Enterprise" Switch 8 PoE with 2 SFP+ ports. I plugged it in in my garage, where it was 50 degrees (F) at the time, and it overheated. I googled it, apparently the SFP ports simply overheat. Turns out while it has a fan, it doesn't turn on and simply overheats because they "Didn't want a noisy fan on someone's desk". Which... uh, doesn't matter if it _doesn't work_. Their enterprise term means nothing. That being said, my rackmount switches have been solid, oldest one is 10 years old. However that unknown makes it hard to justify purchasing new equipment.
