For **£35.87 ex-VAT**, the Cisco Business **110-8T** is the kind of switch I’d call “boring in the best way.” It’s an **unmanaged** 8‑port gigabit box, so it doesn’t try to do anything clever—no setup headaches, no VLAN surprises, just plug it in and your devices start talking. If you’re wiring up a small office, adding extra ports for a couple of desks, or replacing an older low-end switch, this is the right price bracket and it’ll do the job reliably. Cisco branding also helps if you want something that most IT teams won’t immediately frown at during handovers.
That said, I’d **avoid it** if you need any kind of network control—things like traffic prioritisation, segmentation, or monitoring. Unmanaged switches are fine for “everything is basically the same” networks, but they’re not for environments where you want to separate VoIP/guest/IoT or troubleshoot intelligently. In short: **buy it for simple, low-risk port expansion**; don’t buy it if you expect it to replace a managed switch or grow into a more structured network.
