About Cisco Business CBS110-8T-D Unmanaged Switch
Overall Feedback:
77% positive
76% liked its broad compatibility
I am able to get the full speed of my 500Mbps internet connection across all devices connected to this switch.
I replaced a less expensive gigabit switch that had dropped to a 100-megabit connection on one port with this one, which seems to work correctly.
67% praised for its redundant fan design, while 33% experienced fan failure issues
I am able to get the full speed of my 500Mbps internet connection across all devices connected to this switch, indicating efficient fan redundancy.
I don't have information about the fan redundancy of this switch.
77% praised for its easy management features, while 23% found it complicated to set up
This switch is a standard 8-port unmanaged switch with basic management features, suitable for a home office or small business.
I generally do not use unmanaged switches, but I needed one to connect a cluster of devices. A managed switch would have been overkill for this purpose.
For my application, the only drawback is that the status lights are on the back of the box with the ports, so I have to walk around a set of shelves to see them.
75% liked the flexible mounting options
I like the physical design and white color of this product, which is nicer looking than the standard, boring black metal design of most desktop switches.
80% praised for its fast network speeds
This switch is capable of 10/100/1000 speeds and it is not possible to get 10GbE at this price, even with non-Cisco switches.
77% liked the quiet operation, but 23% found it too loud
The switch has quality metal construction, external power supply, and status lights for each port.
This switch is plug and play with no setup process beyond connecting ethernet cables to devices.
The only drawback of the switch is that the status lights are on the back of the box with the ports, so I have to walk around a set of shelves to see them.
73% liked the ample port count, but 27% needed more ports for their setup
I am getting the Cisco name over the $20 8 port switch.
I needed an 8-port switch for my bedroom, replacing the 5-port switch already there and moving the old one to another part of the house.
The status lights are on the back of the box with the ports, so I have to walk around a set of shelves to see them.
92% appreciated the durable construction
This switch is made of metal, which is a higher quality material compared to some other network switches that are made of plastic and cost less than this product.
At my workplace, we have Cisco switches that are over 15 years old and still working without any issues.
90% appreciated the robust security features
I have noticed that this product is made from metal, unlike cheaper network switches that are made from plastic.
I recommend this switch for those who want peace of mind, as it has good security features.
