Ports In Rear

Customers generally have positive opinions about the rear-located ports of the TRENDnet 8-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch, praising its benefits for neater cable management and faster transfer speeds.

Highlights

Quality

The device itself is high quality, with a metal case and rugged construction.

The metal enclosure is a smart design to help dissipate any heat build up.

Lights on the front are only one color, but do blink with network activity on each port.

These things once they work will work for 10-20 years if left undisturbed.

Price

Inexpensive and great for expanding your network!

Shipping

Arrr, this contraption be a boon to any ship's quarters!

Packaging/appearance

Now, i didn't do packet-snooping, stress testing, etc so if you are looking for that, sorry.

Competitiveness

Further, the power jack is also in the back (there is another brand out there that had it in the side, that's just dumb).

This used to be the "norm" but for some reason, companies are moving away from this logical design (i'll presume it's a cost factor).

I thought i'd see how the trendnet performance compares to my former tp-link device and i was quite impressed overall.

I routinely got about 10% better performance through the trendnet switch than i saw with my tp-link.
