This is the smallest 16-port switch I've found. The back panel is completely filled with 2 rows of 8 network jacks. Power jack is in the middle of one side.
No fancy features, but easy to fit in almost anywhere.
Wall mounting consists of a couple of screws and plastic sleeves for the wall, then slots on the bottom of the switch are hooked over the screw heads.

 

I ordered this item and then had some questions about it so I contacted the Manufacturer. This product has PoE listed as a feature which was the major point of buying it for me. However, when I contacted the Manufacturer I was told that not only did the SF 100D-08 16 port not exist (it's a SF 100D-16) it did not have PoE as advertised. They suggested I look into the 300 series (twice the price) I was excited about getting such a great switch for such an awesome price but now I know why. So be warned if you are purchasing this Product IT DOES NOT HAVE PoE!!! Other than that I'm sure it's an awesome switch.

 

I bought this switch to expand my entertainment system ethernet port. Simple- i plugged it into my Ethernet connection and connected three devices (Apple TV, cable box and Sony bluRay player). it worked without setup fiddling.

This is a great product when you need more ports. It works great not needing any attention. This is a replacement for the identical one that was damaged by lightning. Good buy.

We needed addition ports for our small network & our computer guy suggested this one. Nice compact size & so far works great.

As I've learned from past experience, if you buy something electronic, buy the best, Cisco is industry standard. The new switch works flawlessly.

 

I bought this little switch to provide Internet connectivity to the components in my home entertainment center from a single Ethernet cable connected to my router. A Panasonic plasma HDTV, Samsung Blue Ray player and DirecTV HD DVR. I plugged in the cat5 cable from my router, connected up the three home entertainment components, plugged it in to a power strip and it hit the floor running with no hassle whatsoever. It's small, fits hidden behind the other components in my TV stand and quietly does it's job. What else could one ask for? I haven't had it long enough to talk about longevity but if I have any problems with it in the near future I'll provide an update here.

frequently bounces out of my bag & off desks I use, handles high-temp rooms & conditions...it's made solid, mostly metal rather than cheap plastic, flimsiness like other small switches I've had.

I'm a "road warrior" and I often carry switches in my laptop bag. All this little switch had to do to beat out all the others was just keep working. I bought a bunch of the little LinkSys switches for a temporary IT "war room" at a client's office, and none of them lasted the week. I have a whole pile of dead switches from other brands, too. This little guy's been installed in my office for nearly a year now, and it still works great! Tiny and simple to use, too.

 

excellent for small/home-office, small size, simple, and very reliable since I started using a couple at work & home.
