The ES-5800G V3 is a Gigabit Desktop unmanaged switch designed to enhance network performance in a compact form factor, and with outstanding performance and high efficiency. The switch uses store and forward packet-switching technology which offers reliable data transfer. This switch is ideal for network connectivity for the SOHO environment.
Looks good for the price and currently in stock with Ebuyer. Delivery does need to be added.

You need add the delivery cost to the total cost which is at least £3.58. Unless someone can say how it get it free.

£3.58 super saver postage. Total: £12.57.
Talks about it being energy efficient, but doesn't actually mention how much power it uses - anyone know?

Their spec sheet says 3 Watts Max.
As with most consumer gigabit switches, it has inactive link detection, so presumably it powers inactive ports down, and cable length detection, so it adjusts power as needed: longer lines = more power. Edimax claim up to 70% savings.
A convenient feature is that it can be powered by a USB port, so long as that can provide 1 amp.

Ooh, really? I've been looking for a USB-powered gigabit switch to replace my 10 year-old USB-powered fast ethernet switch 8-)

Sure we have VDSL broadband at home. This is connected to a single 24 port switch. The 24 port switch is connected to network ports cabled around the house.
Most of the rooms have 2 ports and some rooms have 4.
However in say the office or AV room we have lots of devices that need a network connection. So I use an 8 port switch like this. One port is connected the the network socket on the wall and I can connect up to 7 ports to devices in the the room.
Each device appear on the home network.
Hope this explains the setup let me know what you want a photo of as all I can show is a switch with wires going to the sockets on the back!
Most Cable or XDSL modems have a switch on the back they are normally 10/100 the OP has posted a deal on a 10/100/1000 which is faster. Great for when you have a lot of data at home that needs to move between devices at home.
We have Media servers, Raspberry Pis running as TV tuners that send SD and HD TV stream to TVs around the house and record to a NAS. Plus CCTV, etc.. as well as internet

One in bedroom, connected by 20m ethernet cable to bt router in office. Then ethernet from TV/Laptop/NowTV/Firebox/IP Cam in bedroom into the switch, giving them all access to the router / internet.
One in office also connected to the router, two pcs, one laptop, two now tvs, firebox all connected to it via ethernet.
Switches essentially just pass on data, so just an easy way of expanding your network when your router has few ports on it to connect to. Also handy to boost signals if you can't run a long cable due to loss.

Just like a mains adapter with several sockets connects several things to the mains, you can connect more than one PC to the internet.

Very high level summary of a home use of a switch
