Connect your Network with Style
Traditional switches are not designed to be installed in a living room, bedroom or oce desk so
usually we hide them because the design is not user-friendly -- they have flashing LED lights
and a bunch of cables that we don’t want to see.
NETGEAR tackles this problem head-on with the industry’s first consumer-friendly switch
with integrated cable management. The 900 Series switches are the first switch that you
want to display!
Thanks to the stylish design and the built-in cable organizer, you will keep your oce and home
neat and tidy. Moreover the LED ON/OFF button will keep your environment quiet so no light
will disturb your movie, work or sleep.
