1 Great Swithed Hub
This is a very reliable hub with features only found in more expensive products. It uses a standard computer (3 prong) connection. No need for a special transformer and fits nicely in a rack.

This product is very affordable to small-to-medium size business as the performance/price is comparable to other switch hub. Strongly recommend to give it a try :)
