Hi all,

I have a Dell PowerConnect 5524 switch that I don't need anymore.
It has 2x 10G SFP+ uplink ports. I replaced the fans with quieter ones for home use.
It doesn't support PoE but is quiet and works well.
Supports VLANs & some L3 features via web interface or CLI. factory reset.

Has the dubious distinction of being from the odd moment in time when Dell thought that using front-mounted non-locking HDMI cables to stack switches together was a good idea. For obvious reasons, this didn't catch on.
Do you think they still had to pay trademark fees despite not using the connector for video?
Don't recommend connecting to your TV, but if you do please take a video.

Let me know if you're interested and I can drop it at the space.
