The switch provides its still serves perfectly around the clock. The unit still meets my needs:
* Well-known manufacturers, robustness, high speed, lifetime warranty, 12V (running on the PC power supply), low energy consumption
Pro:
+ Metal housing
+ Low power consumption (should always be considered when devices in continuous operation)
Contraindications:
- Management as previously reported other (necessary Intallation of third-party programs, etc) have tried it only testhalber.
I use to power the switches my PC power supply via an external connection. I tested the included AC adapter, it works. In the test phase, there were no disturbing noises (as others report). The switch generates fortunately minimal waste heat and also produces no noise own. The unit I run for more than 2 years in continuous operation and has had no failures or disturbances of any kind.
Note on energy consumption:
It is the energy-saving features make on your electricity bill postiv noticeable because these devices usually run in continuous operation. Thus, even a few more euros in the acquisition quickly there.
Many devices without power-management features often consume about 10W, which in 6Watt 15 / year mean / h savings in continuous operation approx.
