- Plug and Play, need I say more?
I needed to connect a couple of PCs in my home office into one wall outlet, this sure did the trick.Simple, easy to connect, just power it up, connect the cables and you are off and running.It works so well I'm buying another one for connecting my media systems together (Blu-Ray player, Plasma TV and Gaming console).Very small footprint, no noticeable heat generated, dark enough color to blend into the background.Highly recommend it...

- Worked great for 6 months
I bought this along with a larger NetGear switch. This worked great for about 6-months, then it just stopped working. The other switch is still working for now.

- Functional, but...
I bought this to use on my workbench, and it's done it's job. The power connection seems like the weak point of an otherwise sturdy design. Mine comes unplugged/loose every so often from being moved around. Wouldn't be an issue if it was screwed to a wall in a closet. I do like the port lights right on the ports, as it's easy to interpret.
