I agree! I've never had a hub fail. On the other
hand I've had coax
cables fail spontaneously (maybe because I didn't go thru the trouble of
soldering them :) However, I see Tony's point about 20 years from now
trying to replace a failed ASIC in a hub. By that time though, good luck
finding RG-58 coax either.
RG-58/U will be around for a long time. Fifty years old already...
I am still trying to find out what "RG" stands for - that is what the
military named coax starting in 1942. "UG" as well (for connectors - the
familiar BNC "T" is actually a UG-274A/U)...
