The 3Com IntelliJack NJ1000 Gigabit Ethernet Switch is an "in-the-wall" unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet switch that easily quadruples LAN infrastructure connections, while providing for legacy analog and digital voice connectivity. Four gigabit switched ports and two pass-through ports connect a variety of devices via one wall outlet, making it more cost-effective than pulling additional wiring. This unique networking solution is ideal for hard-to-wire spaces such as asbestos-insulated walls, older buildings, or dormitories. The wall-mounted form factor is more secure than a freestanding hub or switch. The unit mounts inside the wall space, keeping the uplink port out of the way. An IntelliJack Gigabit Ethernet switch isn"t easily damaged or disconnected, nor will it "grow legs" and vanish. It provides unobtrusive and reliable connectivity for high-traffic locations such as classrooms, guest rooms, public kiosks, conference rooms, and shared office spaces.
