HP Intelli Jack Gigabit switches are compact 10/100/1000 switches that can be installed in a standard wall outlet box, quickly converting an existing single-port LAN wall outlet into four switched Gigabit Ethernet ports. These "network jacks" provide a simple solution for adding network ports without running more cabling. Unlike conventional desktop switches, HP Intelli Jack devices reside out of the way-literally in-the-wall-and so are more secure from theft & difficult to accidentally disconnect or damage. The innovative HP Intelli Jack switches provide four Ethernet ports for local connectivity plus one uplink port. Two additional RJ-45 "pass-through ports" flexibly support a range of additional service & user connectivity options. It can be powered locally or via Power over Ethernet (Po E), & can output standard Po E on up to two ports to directly power attached devices such as IP phones or wireless access points.
