Allied Telesyn made a bunch of this sort of stuff too, and you can't
have mine because I'm using them, one on each end of the thin-net
backbone.  One turned up for US$5 at a ham radio swap meet in the last
year or so.  They're kind of large but they have internal power
supplies and so don't have wall warts.

There were also a bunch of cheap Taiwanese hubs with single BNC ports.
I have a Wisecom that you don't want, because it took to doing bad
things to large packets, which is why I was looking for one at the
swap meet.
