Cutting corners makes a good product just so-so . My gripes with this product are not with its functioning (which appears to be just fine), but rather with the obvious cheap construction and poor documentation. Why would a simple switch need documentation? Read on...

It provides one LED for link, and one multi-color (amber and green) LED for link speed. The problem is, there are three speeds (10, 100 and 1000), two colors, and no labeling on the switch to clue you in as to what means what. The manual appears to explain this in the "troubleshooting" section, implying that green is 1000, yellow is 100 and no light (just link) is 10. Which is great, except my switch uses amber for 1000 and green for 100. This is the sort of thing that drives you nuts when you're trying to validate the wiring in between the source and the switch.

There's no real excuse for such shoddiness. How much more would it have cost to print a correct LED guide on the device, itself? Nothing, of course...which is why it's so inexcusable. But, hey, you get what you pay for, I suppose.

Great switch . Great 1GB switch and works flawlessly for such a cheap price. Runs cool and quiet with excellent speed. For this price range this switch is the best, you can spend more and not see a difference in performance.
