network traffics speed. A switch serves the same function as a hub in a network design -- tying your network equipment together. But unlike a simple-minded hub which divides the networks bandwidth among all the attached devices, a switch delivers full network speeds at each port. Installing this cost-effective 16-Port 10/100 Switch can potentially increase your network speed by sixteen times! Its the perfect way of integrating 10Mbps Ethernet and 100Mbps Fast Ethernet devices, too. All sixteen ports are auto speed negotiating, and have automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover detection, so you dont have to worry about the cable type. Each port independently negotiates for best speed and half- or full-duplex mode, for up to 200Mbps of bandwidth per port. Fast store-and-forward switching prevents damaged packets from being passed on into the network. The new ultra-compact case design is sure to fit into your workgroup environment. Let theLinksys 16-Port 10/100 Switch kick your 10/100 network into high gear.

Advantages: Advantages: Cheap, all in one solution Disadvantages: No manual overide or audio support
stops autoscanning and lets you use the currently selected PC.
The Belkin claims support for scrolling mice but I did find sometimes one PC would start up without recognising this facility if it wasn't the currently selected one when booting up and in extreme cases, wouldn't recognise the keyboard and mouse at all. Previous KVM's I've used send the PC fake 'There's a keyboard and mouse here' messages when not selected and it seems this unit does not, which is a pity.
Conclusion
The Belkin 2 port KVM is a well built unit that works nicely and provides a great way to save desk space and the cost of a second monitor, keyboard and mouse. The long leads are useful and despite the niggles with scrolling mice and the lack of manual switch. I'd say this unit is worth considering at this price if you can live with those shortcomings ...
Advantages: Cheap, reliable, simple to use Disadvantages: None.
I liked this switch so much, I bought two of them.
Netgear have a reputation for cheap and reliable networking equipment, and this 5 port unmanaged switch is no exception.
When I bought my two, they were retailing online for approx £35 each - but these days you should be able to get one for approx £25 (inc VAT.)
The switch is more or less the size of my hand (yes, I have big hands). With 5 ports on the back - all are auto-sensing, as is the gigabit standard, so you don't have to worry about crossover cables if you're daisy-chaining switches... The only other port on the back is for power, which is the usual "wall-wart" plug in transformer you get with most home networking equipment.
Given the switch is unmanaged, you can just plug desktop computers, laptops, XBOXes, network printers straight into the switch, and not worry ...
Advantages: easy setup ( if know what doing ) Disadvantages: easy to break.
Another entry onto the cisco scene is the catalyst 4948 switch. 48 ports with four G-bic options for either fiber optics or standard RJ45 cables.
setting up:
this is made quite simple by the console port on the back. Using a program such as hyperterminal willl allow you to access the flash drive, and change the settings
ease of setup:
quite an easy switch to setup, it has the usual kind of cisco program, with the easy option to upgrade the firmware/ software on it. To setup a Vlan, you use the configuration terminal within. (conft)
Breakabiltity:
as it says on the box really: fragile. It can stand the usual bumps and scratches with its metal casing, but if dropped will usually break one of the ports.
Flashing:
using the console port, you can set it up to flash the firmware, and put either an upgrade or downgrade ...

Manufacturer's product description
Catalyst 5000 family switches support both 4- and 16-Mbps Token Ring networks. This fiber Token Ring module (WS-X5031) has 16 Volition VF-45 socket connectors for Token Ring connections. The 16 ports on the fiber Token Ring module support 62.5 micron multimode fixed fiber connections through ST to Volition VF-45 or SC to Volition VF-45 patch cords. The ports on the Catalyst 5000 family fiber Token Ring module allow you to attach the module to a traditional main ring path coming from either a multistation access unit (MSAU) or a controlled access unit (CAU). You can configure any of the 16 ports to connect to the ring in/out ports of a MSAU or CAU. The module has a loopback function that ensures that there is no break in the attached main ring, even if a port is disabled or the switch is powered off. When you attach a cable from the RI port of a MSAU port to one of the two switch ports, you join the primary and backup in a MAU/CAU main ring system. Connecting the other end of the main ring to the other switch port creates redundant paths because the two switch ports are connected to the same segment.
