Most Helpful First | Newest First (5 out of 5)Light, compact and works great.
Bottom line: Small, light weight and just works. Power brick is half the size of the unit itself and is also very light.
I was looking for a portable network switch to keep in my backpack for occasions when I had a network drop but no wireless. Searching around I found this one and saw that the switch itself is small and light, but I was worried about the power brick. Turns out the brick is small too, so I'm very happy with my purchase.
I've used the switch to network two Macs together and to connect multiple Macs to various network drops. The switch has always worked flawlessly. It doesn't care in which of the five ports you plug in the cables, it figures it all out and just works.
According to my kitchen scale, the switch weighs just under 4 ounces and the power brick just under 3.
(5 out of 5)Best bang for your buck
I've owned and used many different types and brands of switches. I must say that this switch works best for the price. I run the switch 24/7 in a temperature controlled environment (68 degrees F), and have not seen any problems. The temperature on the box is cool to warm. It's never hot to the touch. However, the best thing of all is that it runs silently. Why pay more if you only need reliable connectivity?
(5 out of 5)Just plug it in and go.
I wanted a simple switch, and this fits the bill. No setup, no software, no options: just plug in the power and up to 5 Ethernet cables. Done. It works flawlessly.
