The DE-805TP is a five-port 10Base-T Ethernet hub that is ideal for very small workgroups on unshielded twisted-pair cables. This IEEE 802.3 compliant hub provides five RJ-45 ports for normal connection to stations and/or for cascading to another hub to increase the number of ports on your network. It comes with LED indicators for power and collision, plus one for each port to monitor the network activity and the link status between the port and the connected station. Lightweight and compact, this hub can be installed almost anywhere, even at sites with limited space.
1 Very complete for home networking
I use this product to link 3 computers and a cable modem connection and it works like a charm. Very space efficient and the front panel LED's let me know each port's status. I have not had any complications with this hub and seems to work effortlessly. Great hub.
2 D-Link's DE-805TP is a Five-Star Hub.
This D-Link hub is very easy to install and works well in a busy network environment. I run a small marketing business from home and this small DE-805TP hub networks 4 computers and a laser printer with no hassles. The best feature of this hub is its compact-sized shape. I looked at other brands and D-Link seems to offer everything at a better price.
3 Great for home networking
Look -- I don't need a great hub. Obviously, this is definitely NOT something you'd want to support a major corporate network. When it comes to inexpensive home networking, though, this product is everything you'd ever need. Our 3-computer home network has never been jammed, we have never experienced any difficulties with the hub, and setup was a complete breeze. Just make sure you buy the right cables for the job (there's yellow patch cables, and regular ethernet cables -- talk to your local computer store representative to sort out this issue.. they'll know). I personally knew nothing about home networks before I decided to set up my own, but all in all I'm definitely glad I decided to use this inexpensive option to set up our network. You'll definitely appreciate the nice light up LED's which tell you when and where data is being transferred. Did I mention we even use the hub to give cable modem access to all 3 of our computers, with only one actual cable modem? Isn't that great?
