What class?

High Peripheral.
Here to learn like everybody else.
My evaluations are my own.

Why not telecom? Do I need to bust that middle switch off fo an upgrade?

In my opinion. You just don't have those heavy gold plated edge connectors found with a true telecom board. That's why I evaluated it that way.
Telecom boards are high performance. Which requires precious metal content. I do not see that in your board.

It would be nice to know where the board came from. I doubt the telecom industry. Telecom boards have high quality components and materials. Yes. The board has population but nothing extraordinary. Yes. No junk. Except possibly the switch. I just don't see it as Telecom at all.

I was thinking high peripheral on the low end at least low Telco on the high end.

The pin connector doesn’t look like it has any gold plating which may mean the entire board is lower quality and you have a little bit of steel on that switch. You do have a bunch of ICs and the switch may have some precious metals in it.

So that’s where I was at because it was such a range I didn't say anything before

Ain’t it fun?!

Right, almost every category won't be 100% only this or that.

A board that's typically one grade may go higher or lower due to differences in the specs at time of manufacture or alterations made by the consumer or scrapper. Essentially we're placing the board into the closest grade (price per pound). You could literally have thousands of grades incremented by a penny but that would be a logistical nightmare.


Anywho...where were we?
