That is correct, Accton now owns the SMC brand and most SMC
products these days are produced by Accton. (Accton also sells
lots of this stuff to other OEM customers)

I'm not a big fan of their networking equipment as a rule. (liked
it fine in the old days when SMC was a US company)

BTW, someone mentioned USR earlier in this thread.  USR is also
now produced by a partnership between Accton and another Taiwanese
company.
