curiosity teardown: 18 port ethenet hub

While digging through the pile in the corner, I found some more obsolete technology - a 1990s vintage 10 base T ethernet hub. For reference, this was made by a company called CNet, and it's their model CN8020X It's not good for much these days, so let's take it apart and see if we can learn anything. And, of course, see if there's any parts worth salvaging. ----- My tip jar: https://www.patreon.com/pileofstuff My other tip jar (channel membership) : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRiFz3gNKE3VysarZ7nmqIA/join Buy me a coffee (or a beer): https://ko-fi.com/pileofstuff If you are OK with me getting a commission on your purchases, feel free to use my affiliate links: Ebay: https://ebay.to/33IF7PA Banggood: http://pileofstuff.ca/r/9ajsf Some other links to products may be affiliate links https://odysee.com/@pileofstuff #ElectronicsCreators ----- This isn't the only way to do it.
