Rating: - Works great out of the box but it has a short lifespan.
The SMC EZ6506TX, like all switches, is pretty much a no-brainer piece of computer equipment - you plug the cables from your computers into the switch and it just works (even easier with this switch since you can also use crossover cables to connect your computers to the switch). However, don't expect the switch to outlast your computer. A friend and I both had one of these die on us after about a year and a half of use. Considering that I've purchased switches from manufacturers far less well-known than SMC that were cheaper and are at least still working, I have to wonder about the quality of SMC's engineering and manufacturing. SMC may make some decent products, but if you're looking for a switch that will last you a while I'd stay away from this particular model.

Works as advertised. Just plug in everything and it worked. It is very small and the power block is not polarized so it plugs either way. This helps with my power strip.
