3Com's 10/100 Switching... Wallplate

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the now-thats-a-cool-idea dept.

An anonymous reader wrote in to say "Tom's hardware has an exclusive review of the new 3Com Network Jack. This is a 4-port 10/100 switch that fits in a standard-sized wallplate." Alright, thats a good idea (he says while accidentally kicking the switch hidden under his desk). Having run more then my share of ethernet drops in the past, I gotta say I dig this idea.

    ...it included an 802.11b wireless bridge, we could do away with cabling altogether :)

    Actually, 3com's talking about incorporating 802.11 and bluetooth into the thing shortly.

    Gotta be fully buzzword-compliant, you know.
