An eight-socket gigabit switch that says unmanaged in its own title and publishes its measurements, and gives no figure for what all eight sockets can carry together.
The bottom line Honest in its title and specific about its size, which together answer the two questions a small switch is usually bought on. The blank where a capacity figure should be is the line this page shares with most of its shelf.
On the listing
Eight RJ45 sockets at 10/100/1000 Mbit/s with full-duplex and half-duplex working, automatic negotiation, automatic MDI/MDIX and IEEE 802.3x flow control; a stated use as an extension to a router or modem for laptops, printers, cameras, access points and telephones; plug and play with no software and no configuration; two mounting holes on the rear for a wall or a desk; measurements of 124 by 59 by 23 millimetres; and a fanless build for quiet running.
Unmanaged, in the title
The word is there before the bullets start. It means there is no configuration page, no VLAN, no port mirroring and no aggregation, and it means the unit does exactly one thing. For most homes that is the right answer, and a page that says so in the title is faster to read than one that leaves it to be worked out.
No total for the whole unit
A switching capacity is the sum of all sockets running at full rate in both directions simultaneously. It is the only figure that describes the unit as a whole rather than one of its sockets, and it is not on this page. Two other listings on this shelf print it; this one does not.
Flow control
IEEE 802.3x, named. It is a small thing and a real one: the mechanism by which a busy socket asks a sender to wait instead of losing frames. Naming the standard rather than describing it as smart is what makes the claim checkable.
Before ordering
Measure the gap the unit has to sit in and compare it with the three figures on the page. That is the check this listing makes possible, and it is the one that most often goes wrong.
Availability
Priced at roughly 13 € on the German, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon stores the day this page was checked.
It is stocked on the British Amazon store as well, in that country’s own currency. The range above leaves those out: it counts euro stores and no others.
In the American Amazon catalogue with no live offer against it: the reference exists, nobody is filling it.

Where it holds up, and where it stops
Strengths
Uses the word unmanaged in the title, so the buyer who needs VLANs knows to look elsewhere without reading five bullets first
Names IEEE 802.3x flow control, which is the mechanism that keeps a fast sender from swamping a slow socket, and which most pages at this price omit
Publishes the three measurements in millimetres, which is what decides whether the unit fits behind a router or in a shallow cupboard
Compromises
No switching capacity is given, so nothing on the page says how the unit behaves with all eight sockets busy at once
The case material is absent even though the measurements are not, which is an odd pair of omissions
The power arrangement is unstated, so the contents of the box remain a question for the seller
Specifications
Port count
Eight — stated in the title and counted in the first bullet as eight RJ45 sockets at 10/100/1000 Mbit/s
Port speed
10/100/1000 Mbit/s — stated in the first bullet, with full-duplex and half-duplex working, automatic negotiation, automatic MDI/MDIX and IEEE 802.3x flow control named alongside; no BASE-T designation is printed
Managed or unmanaged
Unmanaged — stated in the title in that word, and supported by the third bullet, which says no software and no configuration is needed
Stated switching capacity
Not published on the listing — no whole-unit total appears in the title or in the five bullets, and the largest rate given belongs to one socket
Fanless or fan-cooled
Fanless — stated in the fifth bullet as a fanless build, given as the reason the unit stays quiet wherever it is put
Case material
Not published on the listing — the fourth bullet gives the measurements, 124 × 59 × 23 mm, and two mounting holes on the rear, and never says what the shell around them is made of
Desktop or rack mounting
Desk or wall — stated in the fourth bullet, using the two rear mounting holes; no rack ears and no rack unit height are named
Power supply type
Not published on the listing — no adapter, no internal supply and no box contents appear anywhere on the page

The questions that come up before an order
What is IEEE 802.3x flow control for?
It lets a socket that is falling behind ask the sender to pause for a moment rather than dropping what it cannot hold. On a mixed network, where a gigabit machine can talk to a slower one, it is the difference between a brief pause and lost frames that have to be sent again. This listing names it explicitly.
Why do the millimetres matter on a switch?
Because these units usually live in the space left over: behind a router, on a shelf under a television, inside a meter cupboard. A page that publishes 124 by 59 by 23 millimetres answers the fitting question before the order rather than after the delivery.
eight gigabit sockets · up to 2000 Mbit/s per socket in full duplex, stated · non-blocking architecture · Layer 2 · fanless · metal case, black
An eight-socket gigabit switch whose headline figure counts both directions of one socket at once, and which never says where the unit is meant to be mounted.
Best for: A shelf or a desk where the unit can simply sit, and where multicast television and a quiet metal case matter more than knowing how it mounts.
eight sockets at 1.0 Gbps · unmanaged, stated · Layer 2 · Cat5e or Cat6 named · fanless · metal case · on-off switch
An eight-socket unmanaged switch that names the cable grades its sockets expect and puts a power switch on the case, and publishes no figure for the unit as a whole.
Best for: A cupboard or a desk where the switch will occasionally need restarting, and where the wiring is already Cat5e or Cat6 and expected to stay that way.
An eight-socket gigabit switch that publishes both the material of its case and a switching capacity, which is two answers more than most of this shelf gives.
Best for: A room that needs eight quiet wired sockets and a unit light enough to hang on a wall, where a plastic shell is a fair trade for the price.
