Zyplex switches.. any good?

[proze]

hi peeps.

i have an opportunity to buy a 10-port zyplex switch for a very good price.. only thing is that i can't find anything about them on the internet.. does anyone know if they're any good?

tia,

They are actually top of the line.

Reason you don't see much on the internet about them is that they normally only make very expensive enterprise-level switches which most hardware sites wouldn't be able to get ahold of for review and such. I'm talking over $3500 for a 16-port switch.
They are most known for their NBASE gigabit switches, etc. so I would imagine a regular Mbps switch made by them would be a good buy.

cool, that's good news, cos i went ahead and bought it. it's a 10-port 10/100base-tx manageable switch, under the NBase brandname. i'm having a lan-party tomorrow, so i'll see how it does. only cost me ZAR400.00 as well, which is about US$30.00.

thanks for the info. :)

Dang, that was a good deal. Cheapest I can find any 6-port generic switch over here is about that much.

Hope it works out well for you...it most definately should.
