Like the Farallon and Netgear products, the ADS 600 family of unmanaged switches is aimed at smaller organizations that can't justify the costs of high-reliability equipment. The Addtron ADS 624 is a no-frills product that takes up 1U in a rack or hides behind a desk with equal effectiveness. It has no fan, so it's quiet (make sure it has plenty of external air circulation), and it would appeal to those in an office in need of a desktop switch for basic file sharing. With a list price of $299, the ADS 624 costs a scant $12.50 per port.
