Search Tips...

Keyword Search
Our search engine uses any or all keywords typed in the text box to give you product search results.
For instance, typing in kvm will give you a broader set of results than kvm switch cables.

Note, however, that keywords in quotes are treated as a single phrase and will not be evaluated individually.

Booleans (AND, +, OR, NOT, -) are not supported.

Also, some keywords will not return results, and may automatically correct to a similar keyword.

Part Number Search Selection
Select this Search in the drop down box to search by part number instead of keywords.

Wild Card Search
The * character is only supported in a limited capacity. Using whole words is the best approach whenever possible.

"New Search" Radio Button
Search the entire section that you are currently in.

"Search Within Results" Radio Button
Enter keywords or a part number to limit your results within the previously searched results.


Other features

A list of all matching product categories or resources will appear in the upper left corner of the results page, when applicable, to help you further narrow your results, if you desire.

Use the "sort by" drop-down menu on the results page to sort by "most popular" and price (low to high or high to low)
in the store section.

    Palm-Sized Ethernet Switch, 8-Port, 110 VAC Wallmount Power Supply, (7) RJ-45, (1) ST (Multimode. 2 km)


    Quick Facts

  • This tiny 10-/100-Mbps switch comes with many port and power choices.
  • Compact size saves valuable space in cramped offices and workspaces.

  • Further Details

  • Plug-and-play installation makes network integration easy—even for amateurs!
  • 10-/100-Mbps autonegotiating and autosensing copper ports plus optional 100-Mbps fiber uplink ports make them a solid choice for migrating to Fast Ethernet.
  • Auto MDI/MDI-X on all copper ports eliminates the need for crossover cables.
  • Nonblocking switch architecture makes these units ideal for video and other data-intensive applications.
  • Store-and-forward switching technology reduces error packet propagation.
  • Get the 5-port model for smaller workgroups; get the 8-port model for larger workgroups.
  • Choose a 100–240-VAC external power supply or 110 VAC wallmount power supply.

    BLACK BOX® Palm-Sized Ethernet Switches are just what you need to get full-featured 10-/100-Mbps switching without breaking your budget or wasting space.

    Just look at all the big, big things this little switch can do!

    The 5-port and 8-port models each measure 1.1" high, 6.3" wide, and 3.2" deep. You can put them on a desk, on top of another box, even hide them behind your PC or Mac®. Wherever you put them, you’ll save valuable space.

    All RJ-45 ports are autosensing and autonegotiating 10/100 Mbps, making Palm-Sized Ethernet Switches a perfect choice for networks running 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or a mixture of the two. Best of all, you don’t have to configure any ports to match device speed—just plug the switches into your network.

    Choose a switch with a 100-Mbps fiber uplink port to connect a workgroup to a fiber backbone. Multimode fiber ports support distances of up to 2 km (1.2 mi.) and single-mode fiber ports support distances of 20 km (12 mi.). Multimode models are available with ST® or SC connectors; single-mode models have SC connectors.

    Both models use a nonblocking switching architecture that enables your network to handle almost any data-intensive application. Accounting office with spreadsheets? Video production company with imaging and multimedia applications? No problem for this switch!

    Don’t worry about network efficiency or speed either. Store-and-forward switching technology eliminates error propagation, and wire-speed forwarding makes sure your network functions as quickly as you need it to.

    Save—don’t sacrifice—with Palm-Sized Ethernet Switches from Black Box.
