These are the older Grand Junction boxes (which CISCO bought out). They
work exceptionally well, and the 100Mbpx FDX ports allow you to "cascade"
through them to get more devices than the 25 that they support on one device
with very little overhead.
I suspect they're being completely phased out now, which is why DataComm has
them so cheaply. You probably won't be able to get them for much longer; we
use a LOT of them around here, so I bought three more just to have them
in-house for future expansion needs.
For an inexpensive but well-performing switch they're damn hard to beat.
I mean, really - at $1,000 you're talking about $40 a port, and the
100BaseTX uplink ports are free!
