My main network switch (Edimax GS-1016) seems to have popped it's clogs.

 

No traffic seems to running through it, all port lights unlit though the power light is on.

 

The old switch off and on has not breathed any life back into it.

 

16 port switches are common enough but this one is special, it's only 131mm deep, perfect fit for my weeny rack setup.

 

This switch looks like it could be discontinued 😭

 

Is anyone aware of any other rack-width but not deep switches?

 

@coffeebaron as the original supplier do have any sitting around??

@runningman Thanks, but I have a 8-port giga-switch I am using, just left a couple of less vital things unplugged.

 

@jase2985 I have already discarded that one as it does not appear to be rack-mountable.

 

Thanks everyone for your replies.

 

Coffeebaron is sorting me a replacement switch. 😀

 

Hopefully everything will be back to rights by Friday.

And we are back in business!

 

 

The Edgecore is 18cm deep, and with a right-angled power cord it just fits, nestled right up against the back wall.

@coffeebaron , The little switch to the left of the lights, I moved that to "no vlan". All good?
