This is a Cisco 2955, basically a 2950-12 on steroids

    Definately not bulletproof... wouldn't do well in a sandy environment either. For that matter, it wouldn't do well in anything other than a well ventilated and cooled room.

    I used to have a bunch of 2955's (I worked on a multi-year process control system replacement project at a couple of plants a number of years back). They were great, they'd be great in a lab, and all your colleagues would wonder what the heck they were... only problem is they're DC powered and they're probably still expensive - even used - due to their ability to survive in "nasty places". :)

    Absolutely the opposite.

    They're convection cooled = no fans. They are designed to operate in environments from -40 F to +140 F in 10-90% humidity at 0-10,000 ft while you're holding them in one hand and a jackhammer in the other. This is Industrial Ethernet equipment, not stuff designed for a clean data center.

    I'll admit that they aren't bullet proof though. ;)

    it looks like something out of Battle Star galactica comms room, " after the cyclon invasion millions of humans perished, one switch will save them all...."

    Hmm, the prices range from low hundreds to about $3,000, I might be tempted to pick one up for my lab if I could get a lucky deal. Would be something else to drive my IT counterpart nuts, over here in our pit. icon_lol.gif

    Typical. Cisco pics suck usually, they used to include all angles and such, now you're lucky if you get more than one shot.
