A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

I received a few of these on bulk discount just after Christmas. Havng run three of them up, each has either one, or two ports that do not pass signal.

Looks like the sticker isn't the right way up!

Yet another Chinese scam, I am noticing more and more of this on fleebay etc, people buy up all the manufacturers B and C grades then market them in bulk hoping to get decent money for pure sh1te. I have especially seen it and experienced it with SSD hard drives.

The internals are identical to the eight way version, but without the additonal ports.

Somewhere in England (possibly?)!
It's not an "error" - just "upselling" the 8-way version for considerably more money than the 6-way version for the small extra cost of adding 2 additional F-connectors on the case & the associated soldered connections (just like manufacturers of many products - including cars - which add expensive extra facilities simply by reprogramming s/w, etc.) :D

I think that the error being highlighted is the misapplication of the label, not the internal circuitry.
