RE: Off Topic - Quietest Cisco Switch [7:53800]

Re: Off Topic - Quietest Cisco Switch [7:53800]
I can narrow down the field by telling you that my Catalyst 2828-EN (2820 series-- modular brother of the 1900-series) is NOT quiet. Mine makes so much noise I avoided using it (and my Cat 5000), and used a combination of quieter 3Com switch, 3Com hub, and crossover cables. This was a mistake and prevented me from getting lots and lots of practice carving out VLANs on switches early on in my preparation.

Re: Off Topic - Quietest Cisco Switch [7:53800]
I would say no, there is no such thing from Cisco. It would be good though. You have to ignore it or not use it. I had such complaints from my users saying they couldn't concentrate. A week later asking the same Q, the users said they are used to the noise already. hktco - Original Message - From: Thomas Larus To: Sent: Sunday, September 22, 2002 12:22 AM Subject: Re: Off Topic - Quietest Cisco Switch [7:53800] I can narrow down the field by telling you that my Catalyst 2828-EN (2820 series-- modular brother of the 1900-series) is NOT quiet.

Re: Off Topic - Quietest Cisco Switch [7:53800]
they're all VERY quiet when you unplug 'em! :- seriously, I presume your home lab is not mission critical. Is there any reason it has to run 24x7?Turning things off, and powering up only when you want to put in some serious rack time ( as opposed to reading, then casually trying a couple of things ) can help with your focus. Not to mention help keep the cost of living down. Chuck -- www.chuckslongroad.info like my web site? take the survey! Charlie Wehner wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...

Re: Off Topic - Quietest Cisco Switch [7:53800]
Hello, If you are willing to spend a few dollars, you can buy a quieter fan than those Cisco uses at most computer shows. Of course, the reason why fans make noise is the turbulence coming off the edges. I have a design for a fan with no edges that should run almost completely silent. At first I was just going to cut the edges off, but that was messy, so instead I tried wrapping a circle of material around the fan blades. It moves with the fan and being a circle has no edges. __ /\/\ \/\/ Of course, I haven't actually replaced any Cisco fans yet, since I love the sound of helicopters taking off in the morning...
