Self-powered via USB? really?

For my part, I could not find a USB input to power the switch in any form. I had to use the power adapter. I'm working mainly on the road, in places where there are not enough power outlets, so it was essential that I could power the switch from one of the computer's USB ports. No interest for me then.

        Perfectly compliant, in place and operational in 2 minutes

        Hello,

        As already reported, the metal case is robust but reasonably sized (just right for the 4 ports in width), it plugs into a USB port in an instant to power itself (in my case, on the back of my FreeBox Revolution).

        And there you have it, 3 more operational RJ45 connectors in 100BaseTX (the 4th one is the carry over of the one used on the Box for the uplink). 100BaseTX is as good as the original FreePlug CPL200M powerline connection.

        And I didn't even have to use the magnetic stickers to fix it, it hangs miserably at the end of a small 15cm RJ45 cable and the USB cable, which doesn't prevent it from working perfectly.

        Given the price, I'm considering buying another one to revise my network architecture in the living room, behind the FreePlayer, and get rid of a bulky power strip.

        The only point to check in the long term is the robustness of the components, in particular the resistance to power cuts?

        Discreet and easy switch

        This switch is made of metal, which is an important detail: given its small size and light weight, it would have been very difficult to find under heavy equipment.

        There is a power supply included but it can be powered by USB directly.

        There is no adjustment to be made, the equipment is operational immediately.

        Network multiplier, easy

        The Mini Switch is a great way to connect to your computer, and it's a great way to connect to the Internet. It's a great way to connect to your computer, and it's a great way to connect to your computer.
