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 have my router on my desk and since i have many wired devices to connect i didnt want to accidentally damage any router ports with all the cabling attached to it so everything plugs into the trendnet switch with a patch cable connecting it to the router

    I had a different switch before this but all of the connectios were made in the front which was a headache to try to cable manage it so it was a clean layout on my desk

    It is a fanless design so theres no noise there are ventilation holes on both sides and the metal chassis acts like a heatsink to keep the internals cool but the chassis itself never felt hot nor even warm

    Port lights are in the front and a simple glance over and you can see the status of each port
