I have thought about it.
First problem is the 8 pole dual throw switch. They exist but they are
physically large and expensive.
Second problem is that 444 segregates data on 4 wires and power on 4 different
wires. With GigE ata and power are on all 8 wires.
So, I would have to have some inductors switch into the circuit to block the
data from the house when the test port is being used.
Can be done. Not sure if I could do it in that small box. And it would make
it considerably more expensive.
Shall I do it?

Way nicer!
I imagine the 444 would work with a lot of Mikrotik CPE, or cameras, or
anything 100BaseT with power on the spare pairs. That probably means a hundred
different possible uses to list.
*shrug* maybe it doesn't matter and they should just get the gigE unit if
they're not sure.
How come there's no test port on the GigE-POE? Seems like if you could tick
that one box you could just deprecate the 444.

I think it's clear enough. The only question that came to mind was I don't
know what the Case Style of "PCB Only" means.
One other comment is that nothing actually says we're looking at surge
protectors or that they are ethernet surge protectors. That's irrelevant if
the chart is displayed in a context where that's obvious.

How can I improve this?
