I did not especially need a switch output but the reduction proposed by amazon did not make me hesitate. Indeed, if the goal is to connect devices such as a game console, a multimedia box, now or TV, then this is what you need. Furthermore the switch due to the QoS network protocol that allows, in the case of this LC balance connections according to priority of equipment. The product is very well finished, I use it to cross three parts and the connection is flawless but not crazy either (Box> White CPL> CPL switch> pc) The bundle is provided (2 network cables, I doubt this is in contrast to the category 6) and documentation. For less than 30 euros it's a bargain!
