Procurve 2910AL-24G-POE Switch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This switch was purchased to support a new expansion on the 3rd floor. We wanted Procurve reliability with limited POE for a few devices. This switch supports 30watts per port for 12ports or 15watts per port for all 24 ports. It has 4 dual personality ports so we can connect it to our fiber backbone and it has the HP Procurve unlimited warranty for as long as you own the unit. We have rarely had a problem with any of our Procurve switches, but HP has always supplied a replacement overnight. Unlike some vendors everything including the fans are covered. This is a great managed switch and we are about to purchase another as the new office space has grown more rapidly than was expected and we are almost out of ports.

HP Procurve 1810G-24 Switch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This switch has a lot of powerful features that can come in handy. If you don't need any of them, just plug it in and it will work fine as well. If you need trunking, VLAN's and broadcast storm protection, this has it. The web management interface is easy to use and also has logging so you can troubleshoot your network.
My favorite feature of this switch is the lack of a fan and low power consumption. I use these in many homes, so silence is a requirement!

Switch 8-PORT Gig Poe 2-SFP Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this switch as an upgrade from my 4-port 100MB hub... talk about a difference! File transfer speeds are way up and gaming lag way down. Everything works as advertised and I definitely recommend it. My only gripe is that the log-in screen sometimes requires a few refreshes to register my input. Other than that, this is a good little device for anyone wanting to get their feet wet with managed switches.

Cisco Catalyst 2960 24-port 10/100MBPS, 2 gig-uplink (copper/SFP) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The C2960-24TC-S is the 10/100 + gig-uplink version of the workhorse Cisco2960. I run a number of 2960s (various models) for work, including a recent purchase of this model. They offer a full set of features (QoS, trunking, VLANs, traffic shaping, SNMP, etc), but we primarily use them for straightforward Layer2 switching while gathering simple traffic stats.
Unlike cheaper switches in this space, the uplink/SFP ports are not shared, and can be used as normal ports, making this effectively a 26-port switch. (but you have to use just one of the UTP or the SFP for the uplinks). Cisco SFPs are required (and are expensive). Other brands (including CiscoLinksys) will show up as disabled/error.
This model is lower-priced in part because it runs the Cisco "Lan Lite" IOS (rather than "Lan Base"). For most users, this won't make a difference, but noteworthy since LanLite and LanBase installations are not interchangeable. Cisco lists these differences, that are missing in LanLite:
* gigabit on all ports (the all-gig switches are LanBase)
* RPS support, larger range of SFP models
* Layer 2-4 ACLs, DHCP snooping, 802.1x enhancements
* Some additional QoS capabilities
* Higher network-level availability (eg Flex Links)
* Larger number of VLANs
For most of my installs, I don't miss these features other than the gig-on-all-ports (skipping that is a cost-based decision).
My very recent purchase was manufactured Feb2010 and shipped with IOS 12.2(44)SE6 . IOS releases are frequent, and I noticed there have been 6 minor releases already for this switch since then, but fortunately the updates are available as free downloads (after registration) from the Cisco support site.
After trying various other brands (and having lots of reliability and throughput problems), I've decided you get what you pay for in L2 managed switches, and now I specify only Cisco, and usually a 2960. Highly recommended.

ATEN 4-Port Dual Video Dual Link DVI KVMP Switch with Audio Support and cables CS1644 (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is my third Aten KVM, and they've all been good. This one is the best so far. No problems with keyboard and mouse emulation (some KVM's cause boot hang-ups because they don't emulate well), the hotkey swapping is blazing fast, unit is heavy and well-built (lighter units tend to do a "wheelie" because of the weight of the cables coming off the back of them.
My only complaint is lack of response to my request to Aten to sell me a longer cable set - the short ones that come with the unit won't work for many users. There's a couple of longer sets on the Aten website, but requests to purchase those part numbers are being ignored...

The CubiQ CS1644 DVI Dual View KVMP Switch adds a new dimension to DVI KVMs by incorporating dual monitor support and an LED Status panel for a clear, simple method to select and monitor the advanced switching features of the KVM. Now you can extend your desktop across two 2560x1600 Dual link monitors, making it ideal for graphic designers, banking and finance consultants, medical applications, and gaming. The CS1644\'s independent (asynchronous) switching feature allows the KVM, USB ports, and audio to focus on different ports simultaneously. In order to simplify source identification, and manual port selection, the Status Panel has been expanded by the addition of LCDs that illuminate, to clearly indicate the feature selected, and the port to which it is connected. Other major features of the CubiQ include Video DynaSync, which ensures proper resolution and refresh rate when booting or switching computers. Mouse emulation maybe disabled to allow full functionality for programmable mice, and USB 2.0 peripheral sharing ports to share printers, and other external devices. The CS1644 supports digital video I.E. flat panel displays, data projectors, plasma displays, digital TVs and set-top boxes. Switching is accomplished by one of two methods: Hotkeys (you don\'t have to take your fingers off the keyboard), or front panel push buttons. Easy install and set up, simply connect the CS1644 between your computers, monitor, mouse and keyboard. Connect your microphone, speakers, and peripheral devices. No software to install, no configuration routines. Since the keyboard communicates directly with the KVM it will work with multiple computing platforms (PC (x86/x64), Macintosh PowerPC, and Sun Microsystems (Sparc)

Netgear Switch 24-PT 10/100MBPS Poe Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)With traffic on networks increasing and new devices being regularly added, you need a network switch that will not only cope with your current demmand, but will also be futureproof. The FS728TP does all that. With power over ethernet it can provide power to voice over IP phones on your network, remote webcams, etc therefore removing the need for local power sources for them.
This really is a switch that suits all users - from the basic user this is effectively plug and play - just connect your devices and it works out of the box. With other more advanced features such as QoS, SNMP, Web based configuration & DHCP it offers plenty of configurability for the more advanced user as well.
All in all, this is a great value for money switch with the performance and reliability that Netgear are known for. A highly recommended product!

Netgear FS726TP ProSafe 24 Port 10/100 Smart Switch with 2 Gigabit Ports and 12 Port POE Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The unit is solidly built(steel enclosure), and works flawlessly like all my other Netgear switches. It's perfect for applications that need PoE to power Wireless access points, or for my purpose of powering and connecting a bunch of IP security cameras. A nice surprise was the price for this unit as it's much less than other PoE switches I looked into. In addition, having the two Gigabit connections were perfect for connecting it into my Gigabit backbone, and continuing the chain. I've yet to enable and configure CoS or other advanced features, but the UI seems straightforward. I'm not an IP expert, so this switch was a nice option rather than going to a managed switch. My only complaint with the unit is the fan is louder than I expected, noticeable loud in a room with a couple computers also running. All my other switches have been fanless, so I'm spoiled. In the end, I'd purchase another one. In fact I probably will real soon.

SMC Networks SMCGS8P-Smart 10/100/1000Mbps Smart 8 Ports PoE 1 x SFP Jumbo Frame Support Rack Mountable Switches Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a feature-full PoE switch in a metal case. The case isn't 19", though, so while it comes with rackmount brackets it won't fit a standard rack. That is my biggest gripe. It also throttles power based on the number of ports powered. Port 1 can support 25w, but if you use all 8 as PoE it throttles all back to 7w ea. I also found the paper documentation lacking, they devote pages to ethernet theory and punching schemes but omit how to log into the management interface. (I'm buying a gigabit PoE switch that supports fiber. I think I know how a network works.) The missing information was quickly found via google, and probably on the documentation cd, but still should be in the printed manual. The management interface has some issues with different ports, as well. While configuring vlans I had to reset the unit after each change to get the daemon to listen on a different port or the newly vlan tagged port. Keep it close when configuring.
Other than these I haven't yet found any deficiencies. The management web page is fairly intuitive and eay to use. It supports trunking, vlans, LLDP, RSTP, and QoS. The SFP port works with a standard FTLF8519P2BNL gbic. It is a good cost value for powering multiple class 1/2 PoE devices.

IOGEAR 4-Port Dual View Dual-Link DVI KVMP Switch with Audio GCS1644 (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've used a fair number of other KVMs and had largely given up on ever having the convenience of using one ever again. Some coworkers had shown me an older set of these that worked really well with DVI switching. I really like this KVM. It works exactly the way you would expect, and in my case it took zero configuration.
Currently I switch four computers with this system: Windows 7 with a Geforce GTX 285, a Hackingtosh with an Nividia 9xxx series, a Linux box, and a mac laptop. It works flawlessly for all of them. You really can't say this with any other KVM setup.

GS716T-200 - ProSafe® 16-port Gigabit Smart Switch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I recently purchased this switch due to the lack of reliable consumer-grade unmanaged 16-port Gigabit switches. It was also listed on the Netgear ReadyNAS NV+ compatibility list, which was the second reason I purchased this model.
This model replaced a Netgear GS116, which itself worked fine until it decided to suddenly stop transmitting packets and required unplugging and replugging the power cord. The GS116 replaced a GS108 which worked flawlessly (and still does) for 3 years. I've been expanding my network since our house's network is more like a small business than a residence.
The buyer of this switch should note that there are several versions of the GS716T floating about, a v1, v2, and 200 model exist - and the v1 and v2 are being phased out for the 200 series according to the Netgear website. This model is the latest 200-series - though I cannot really tell the difference between the v2 and 200 model, and both use the same firmware image. It (v2 and 200) has many more features and is more up to date than the v1 model and the nicest feature for me is that this model has only one fan which is a lot more quiet than the two fans I heard on the v1 model. The v1 sounded like a hair dryer set on low speed, this model puts out a whisper and is no louder than a whirring fan of a quiet desktop PC.
The web interface is informative and easy to use. It works best on IE and the shipped discovery tool software is Windows-only. The switch can still be managed via Firefox or Safari once its IP address is known. I have had little need to configure the more advanced functions of the switch (flood control, RADIUS, QoS, and the myriad of security settings), I really don't need them at this point.
