Good price. Heavy metal construction makes them stay put. Plug them in and they work.
it switches and fast! Cheap, solid.
I work in information technology, and sometimes configure larger managed switches. When I read the specifications for this switch and then the price, I don't think I've ever impulse bought a network device faster, and I don't regret it. It does everything it says it does in the manual, is inexpensive, fanless, and has a great, sturdy iron case with notches for wall mounting using the included screws and wall anchors. Apart from the very solid build quality an iron case imparts, the extra weight is incredibly helpful to keep the device firmly planted where you put it when you have Ethernet cables hanging from all of the ports.
Had me up and working in under a minute.
Every Saturday I run full backups of 3 drives and a subvolume over 7 hours, beginning with a 4-hour backup-and-compare of a MacBook Pro over my LAN. For a period of 4 weeks earlier this summer, the Mac Pro "backup server" computer was getting a "network connection timeout" after about 2 hours of backup. With this pair of Gbps switches replacing my old Netgear Gbps switches, the LAN backup-and-compare runs to completion.
Small Physical Signature: This switch is small so doesn't take up much space. Plug and Play: Speed test done right after installed and it does a great job.
UniFi compatible and suited to the kinds of awful environmental conditions the old Ubiquiti Tough Switch Pro was perfect for. Being managed by UniFi rather than UISP simplifies the network, so it's GREAT to have this niche filled. Surprisingly useful to have more ports, didn't know we needed them until we had the option.
Worked as advertised with no issues so far.
