Prefect for robots! I've ordered a Gigablox, which is a 5-port gigabit switch of the size about 4.5x4.5 cm. Incredibly small! And it works well, even full gigabit. It generates only neglectable amount of heat, and the wide input voltage means one less DC-DC converter or stabilizer on your robot. Yay! The makers from Botblox look like quite skilled engineers, and they're very open to ideas. I suggested them an improvement to Nanoblox, and a few weeks later, a newsletter announces it's on the roadmap. This doesn't happen with every company - try making suggestions to Netgear :) I'm really looking forward for the other planned products because they've really hit the niche robotics needed to cover.

item shipped and arrived promptly, packaging needs a bit of attention, but they're working on it! item shipped and arrived promptly. The outer box was open and crushed on one corner but contents were sealed and intact. Items were in good condition. ...Upgrading the review based on feedback from BotBlox staff. They were attentive, responsive and concerned about the packing problems.

Bespoke requirement - First class service We required a bespoke variant of Ethernet Switch to suit our product requirement. The response from BotBlox at all stages of the process, from design to final test and delivery, was first class.

Innovative products I purchased a SwitchBlox Nano to fit into my BlueROV2 and it worked perfect first time. Very impressed with the technology as it was a fraction of the size of the one I bought off Amazon.

Knowledgeable and Helpful I have been working on a robotics project using the GigaBlox network switch as the main means of communication between devices. I recently resolved an issue thanks to BotBlox support. They helped by suggesting useful tests to perform, and giving accurate assessment of the results. The issue ended up not being related to the switch itself and now the networking is working wonderfully. I would highly suggest giving these switches a try, great combination of good hardware and amazing support.
