TRENDnet Unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet Switches

Earlier this year, Herbert rebuilt his basement after some flooding took its toll. With the walls open, the ethernet cable was strung and a "star" was formed. A "star" network that is. With outlets connected to a central switch near the cable modem, our hero distributed wireless gigabit throughout the lower levels of the house. An 8-port switch at the core, and a set of 5-port switches inside various media cabinets and closets did the rest. The TRENDnet switches fit the bill quite nicely. Energy efficient, reliable, and inexpensive: just Herbert's style!
