Inexpensive switch for extending your network

I bought few of those to extend Ethernet ports that are built in the walls at our office. Plug and play operation and you have the ability to manage those switches as well. May not be needed but the price difference between unmanaged and managed wasn't that big. So far no complaints. I like the case being metal better than some plastic switches we bought in the past.
