The operating LEDs one is often used by desktop switches multicolored LEDs for different connection speeds, but this is not desirable in a Rackmount Switch: red or orange always shows an error, therefore all operating LEDs are basically green. So you can see at a glance in the closet, if everything is in order.
Sorely missed I Mounting bracket for 10-inch installation, while accompanied by the angle for a 19-inch cabinet. But there is a Longshine Switch on the Internet 10-inch mounting brackets that fit well at ZyXEL. To compensate for the power supply is integrated and the switch via a rocker switch on the back really switched off.
The switches sit in a 10-inch cabinet in a suspended ceiling. By the metal cabinet with three 12-pin patch fields the very little heat is dissipated easily. However, I have performed a load test with eleven simultaneous gigabit connections on 1 Switch. More devices with gigabit port I simply do not in the house ... The power consumption was to bring little more than five watts and a heating would also after an hour load test may not be noticeable.
Although I run the switches in an appropriate distribution box, they could certainly be used as a desktop switch, because at least my devices do not make a sound!
Although I generally do not only have heard of ZyXEL good, me, this switch being too confident. Strong buy recommendation.
