I guess it would be dependant on who you bought it from. Alot of PC's/Switches that we buy for our place come with both the US and UK leads. But some companies just import the US gear over here, so they would only come with US leads, then they would charge you extra (a couple of quid) for the UK leads. But like I said it does depend who you bought it from, it may also just be a simple oversight when they packed he equipment. Best bet is to contact your supplier who you got the equipment from.

I agree, you have to see the differences between the kit from say Cisco/HP and compare them to say D-Link/Netgear from an admin point of view. However I have to say that they do inflate the price alot.

We upgraded our network infrustucture a couple of years ago from the old 3Com 10meg switches and hubs to a new shiney 100 meg (some places 1gb) one. We put in 5 HP switches and then to save money, we put in a hell of a lot of d-link switches. If there's a problem, the HP switches will tell you what port it's on, with the D-Link ones the switch will tell you there's a problem (but it doesn't tell you where).

For home use or soho, imo any brand will do, but for the mid-large size companies, you needs something more intutitive.
