It operates as a 10/20/100/200 Mbps switch, and can automatically sense if you are using straight-through or cross-over cables and adapt accordingly. And it costs less than some mice!

So, are you starting to get excited yet? Then check out this switch and get your network up and running!

Half/full-duplex Compatible With full-duplex support, the Rosewill RC-405 work at a maximum 200Mbps on each 5 RJ45 port (doubling the speed of normal half-duplex devices), and is also compatible with half-duplex mode. On top of that, each RJ45 supports Auto-negotiation and Auto-MDI/ MDI-X, which facilitate installation and troubleshooting respectively.
Network Optimization The RC-405 supports Full Wire Speed Store-and-Forward Technology which instantly eliminates bad packets. Broadcast Storm Filter, Runt and CRC Filtering eliminate erroneous packets to optimize network bandwidth.

Bob W 4/23/2009 9:15:08 AM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 4/5Satisfied customer Pros: Small, inexpensive, and it works as advertised. I use a wireless client to provide internet access to my entertainment center. But the wireless client only has one ethernet port. So I connected the RC-405 to it and that gives me four available ports. Cons: It stopped working after seven weeks. Other Thoughts: When the switch died I determined the cause was a failed power adapter. The switch was too inexpensive to go through the hassle of an RMA so I contacted Rosewill sales to see about ordering a replacement power adapter. Instead, they had Newegg send me a brand new switch at no cost to me. I would have given 5 eggs if not for the short-lived power adapter. Manufacturer Response: Dear Valued Customer, We are sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused you. We try to provide the most reliable products to our customers. We would be more than happy to replace this unit for you. Please email us at rma@rosewill.com for your replacement. We look forward to hear from you soon.

N/A 4/9/2009 4:42:11 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5 Pros: Cheap and works as advertised. Just a simple switch. Cons: none Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
KTR 3/9/2009 1:32:07 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Works as advertised Pros: Needed to provide connectivity for my satelite receiver, Xbox 360, and Wii. Plugged the switch up to the network, then to each device, added power, and everything is connected with no issues. Have been up and running for a couple of months with no issues. Comes back up after a power outage, which is a nice little bonus. More to do with the Ethernet protocol, than the actual hardware. For a sub-$15 switch, I couldn't ask for anything more. Cons: Throughput may be an issue for some, but works perfectly for my needs. Other Thoughts: Fills basic needs of expanding one Ethernet network, when throughput is not a major concern. For the price, this little switch does everything I expect. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!

autoballer 2/26/2009 2:55:35 AM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5works fine Pros: Gets the job done. works with my router and one other hub on the same network. very small and compact. no brainer to set it up (just plug it in). Cons: it doesnt come with any ethernet cables, but they are cheap on newegg anyway. maybe they could make this a deal with some cables... Other Thoughts: I used this to split a connection between a pc and an old xbox for my brother. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Gungrave 2/22/2009 7:53:21 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5 Pros: well it comes with a total of 5 lan ports, and you can use all 5 ports without any unknown lost of speed, by which i mean the unit itself doesnt reduce the speed of ur ethernet connection Cons: none Other Thoughts: its awesome if u want to surf the net while playing PS3 online =) Did you find this review helpful?

N/A 2/10/2009 2:35:53 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 2/5 Pros: Initially works great. Nice cheap little switch. Cons: Randomly die rather fast. Our warehouse has gone through one of these switches in as little as a month. They last longer in other locations but all seem to die earlier than other brands of switches I have encountered.

We would be more than happy, if under warranty, to replace this unit for you. Please email us at rma@rosewill.com for your replacement. We look forward to hear from you soon.
