Belkin PRO Series display extender - 15.2 m

Advantages: compact, good front-panel display, wall-mountable
Disadvantages: temperamental web interface, lots of virtual knobs, bells and whistles

...casing that has wall-mount holes, and claims to push super-fast wireless networking to a radius of 425m from the unit. And it comes with a Manufacturers Lifetime Warranty (sic). Here's how I managed to get it going to accommodate my need to work from a room at the very opposite end of the house from where the ADSL connection was installed... What you get for your money ----------------------------------------- The silver-topped Belkin box looks attractive, with HIGH performance being the most obvious feature on the front. One side-panel gives you three easy steps to get you started - 1. Connect; 2. Configure; 3. Set Up. The other side-panel shows the technical specs, and the back panel explains clearly what's in the box, what it does and the way the unit communicates to you in blue (or amber if something's amiss!) icons what's happening...

Advantages: Very versatile, handy, and easy to use
Disadvantages: A bit more expensive than some other "cheaper" hubs

...The Belkin USB BusStation is an extremely easy way to expand your USB ports / serial / com / ps2 / Ethernet ports. The basic package comes as a 4 bay stackable system, with one base 4 port USB hub, and 3 other 1 port USB hubs. All are removable and can be exhanged for other Belkin hub products. This means total diversity. You could, for example, have 4 x 4 port USB hubs (a 16 port USB hub in total). The BusStation has it's own power supply, providing a true 500 mA per port current, with an overload protection system on each port. Currently, Belkin are giving a £5 rebate back if you send off the barcode on the bottom (or a £10 rebate if you send off the barcodes from a BusStation and one other Belkin hub product).

Advantages: 6 Plug Holes Heavy Duty Case
Disadvantages: Rubber Plug Caps

...I purchased a Belkin SurgePro for the protection of my new Computer on 31st March 2004. I am very pleased with the quality of the product and having a metal construction it makes it ideal for heavy duty work (unlike me just having it for my computer). It has a long lead (5m) and has lights to tell you its on and that it is protected. It also comes with product insurance so if you do get a surge/spike and it damages something you have plugged into it you can claim (I dont know how easy it is to claim as I have not had any problems). The price is very good under £15 most places, so you get a lot for your money ie 5 meter lead and 6 sockets. The only problem I would say is that the hole protectors get in the way when plugging in large plugs (speakers etc) so for such a good product its a shame belkin didn't notice this! You can get...
