RE: Multiple separate Ethernet switches in a single chassis?

["Sloane, David" <David () Evare com>]

How about (1U shelf) + 4 * (4-port switch)?  Sure, you have four power
bricks (most likely) to deal with, but your cost should be under $200 US
for something so simple.

You might also try processor.com (no affiliation, never used as a
vendor) - they have listings for unusual products from big and small
vendors.

Subject: [fw-wiz] Multiple separate Ethernet switches in a single
chassis?

A few months ago, I recall seeing a product announcement or review 
for what I thought at the time was a pretty odd duck: a set of four 
separate 4-port Ethernet switches, all in a single 1U rackmount 
chassis.  These were 4 separate switches, with no interconnection 
between them, perfect for situations (like firewall building) where 
you want a bunch of separate small switches, instead of VLANing a 
larger switch.

Now, of course, I can't remember who the manufacturer was, and 
haven't had any luck with Google.

Does anybody know of such a product (or multiple such products)?  Or 
am I just totally imagining things?


Thanks!
