Regarding the product, it is metal, rather heavy. Of excellent finish, it helps to be attached to the wall, screws are also provided in the package. It recognizes the Crusaders or not cables. Little detail has its importance, it is also the first time I see it, a switch on the power cable turns off the switch without removing the transformer. It's going in the direction of energy saving assumed by Netgear that, in addition, reduces the consumption based on cable lengths and the use or not of the 8 ports available. I have not yet had the opportunity to test consumer but I trust. (I'll update when I have calculated consumption)
At Netgear, there is really very little to criticize about their products. Unlike Cisco, Netgear quality products will not decline over the years.
Hint: it is sold under 10 on amazon germany. Box and manual in French.
