how could you tell it was a 10/100... or even a cisco switch?

it looks more like an old small plane dell powerconnect to me.

This picture has been jpeg-ified so many times that the details are illegible now

I'm pretty sure it was a Cisco if I'm not mistaken, but I could be remembering wrong

it might as well be since they're all black pizza boxes with holes. lol

I didn't. It just looks like the fair number of Cisco (and the occasional Dell) 10/100/sometimes Gigabit switches I've seen in junk shops.

I bought a nifty blue Netgear 24-port one mostly because I'm more willing to buy junk from the Humane Society shop, but then decided it was too loud (40mm fans) and went to 2.5G (with smaller fanless switches) instead.

i used to marvel at people at people who setup racks in their own home with those LOUD blades because my time racking & stacking in all the data centers have lead to permanent hearing damage so seeing these people bring that into their home is wild to me.
