SMC-EZ6508TX 8-Port 10/100Mbps Standalone, Unmanaged SOHO Switch

Product Description
SMC’s EZ Hub™ 10/100 Switches are auto-sensing, dual-speed switches that offer a simple, cost-effective strategy for integrating Fast Ethernet into your Ethernet network.

Product Description:
SMC's EZ Switch 10/100 series are dual-speed desktop network switches that are as easy to install and use as an ordinary hub, with the added dimension of dramatically improving network performance by offering speeds up to 200 Mbps per port. Since full bandwidth capability is achieved on each individual port, the congestion problems of shared hubs are easily avoided. Powerful enough to run your network's backbone, yet so easy they can be used in place of your desktop hubs, the EZ Switch 10/100s brings the power of switching to you.The EZ Switch 10/100 series feature full auto-negotiating 10/100 ports, which automatically detect the speed and duplex modes of attached devices and allow the switch to automatically configure itself for optimum performance. The EZ Switch 10/100s provide a buffered "store-and-forward" architecture, which prevents bad packets from propagating throughout the network. They also feature "back pressure" and flow control to prevent packet loss and ensure peak performance at all times. The EZ Switch 10/100s provide a Power LED, along with individual LEDs that show the link/activity, speed, and duplex status for each port.

Slow, SLOW and SLOWEST Shipping I've ever had.......2005-04-26

I'm not concerned with the actual product, but I chose the free shipping option and I guess somebody wanted to punish me for doing so as it took 35 days to get it from the day I ordered it. After 2 weeks, it said it was processing the shipment. Books I ordered the same day and with free shipping came 3 days later but no, not the switch.

Amazon didn't even bother to reply to my emails requesting to cancel this order since it didn't give the option for it. Had I know it was going to take this long I could have went and got a switch locally the same day for a few bucks more.

To me, this is a reflection of the product if I ever needed tech support (not likely since I'll just throw it in the trash and get one locally next time), as it probably would take days or weeks to get support if the shipping is this SLOW.

Yep, learned my lesson, don't buy anything hardware related from Amazon, just books as I've never had a problem with that.
