In Wired Networking

-Plug & Play -Fully managed -Low heat -Dual SFP+ for lower heat -Overall package is so well thought out compared to other low quality switches.

Small, easy to use, no setup required, just plug and play.

Nice solid build great speeds. Ran this with four ports populated in my computer shop ran speed tests on two computers at a time a small drop from running one then two but almost unnoticeable. I had this hooked up to two desktops and a laptop and ran file sharing on my network on all three at the same time. and it didn't miss a beat. This unit has the IGMP snooping on board which is a nice option. Quote :IGMP snooping allows a switch to only forward multicast traffic to the links that have solicited them. Essentially, IGMP snooping is a layer 2 optimization for the layer 3 IGMP. IGMP snooping takes place internally on switches and is not a protocol feature. Snooping is therefore especially useful for bandwidth-intensive IP multicast applications such as IPTV. Snooping is a general way for Layer 2 devices, such as Juniper Networks MX Series Ethernet Services Routers, to implement a series of procedures to “snoop” at the Layer 3 packet content to determine which actions are to be taken to process or forward a frame. More specific forms of snooping, such as Internet Group Membership Protocol (IGMP ) snooping or Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) snooping, are used with multicast. Layer 2 devices (LAN switches or bridges) handle multicast packets and the frames that contain them much in the same way the Layer 3 devices (routers) handle broadcasts. So, a Layer 2 switch processes an arriving frame having a multicast destination media access control (MAC) address by forwarding a copy of the packet (frame) onto each of the other network interfaces of the switch that are in a forwarding state. However, this approach (sending multicast frames everywhere the device can) is not the most efficient use of network bandwidth, particularly for IPTV applications. Quote:IGMP snooping functions by “snooping” at the IGMP packets received by the switch interfaces and building a multicast database similar to that a multicast router builds in a Layer 3 network. Using this database, the switch can forward multicast traffic only onto downstream interfaces with interested receivers, and this technique allows more efficient use of network bandwidth. End Quote As mentioned before all five of the ports and in the front of the unit which for some people could be a problem. but by the standpoint of being to see the activity lights and notice a problem the layout makes sense. The unit is cool to the touch. Its a nice little switch will be a very handy add on to my computer repair shop.
