Going Beyond Gigabit! - Upgrading my Home Network Switches!

In this video, we upgrade my home network switches to a set of new switches from the Cisco Business 250 & 350 series to provide a selection of multi-gig and 10 gigabit ports throughout my network. At the same time, I also take the opportunity to tidy up the cable management in my central comms cabinet using slim 28 AWG CAT6 patch leads.
