Need advice for Desktop Switch
I’m looking for advice or direction on my office buildout. I’m looking for a 4 or 5 port Desktop Switch that has the link status LED’s on the front while keeping the ports on the back in a black color. The only one I see is only available in white. The reason for the black color is that all my peripherals are black and would blend seamlessly on my desk while having the LED’s on the front with the ports on back would allow me to hide the wiring and still be able to visually verify the network is connected without having to lift and turn the switch to view the link status LED’s. Any help or direction would greatly be appreciated. Thanks

Hello Sensible,
And welcome to the NETGEAR Community! 🙂
You may want to check the GS305v3 desktop switch. It's unmanaged black desktop switch with 5 ports in front.

Have a lovely day,

Netgear Team- SensibleAspirantThank you and I appreciate your response. Though I think you missed my question. I am looking for a desktop switch that has everything on the back except the link status lights. I’d like only the link status lights to be on the front. So the desktop switch you suggested is not what I’m looking for. Hope I’ve clarified my request better.
