8 Port Gigabit PoE Switch with 2 Gigabit Uplink, 120W Built-in Power, 802.3af/at Compliant, Managed PoE+ Switch Support VLAN, QoS, Fanless Metal, Plug and Play(Desktop/Wall Mount)

This 8 port POE switch is just right for smaller setups requiring POE power. It's not just an 8 port switch though, it is 8 POE and 2 standard gigabit ports. So uplinks that don't need POE give extra ports. Easy to use, just plug in your devices. No failures, and it's plenty fast. One detail to pay attention to. When you start loading up the ports and pulling a good bit of power, it does get on the warm/hot side. Give it ventilation, even just sitting it on it's side, and it's fine.

I purchased two of these in January 2021, and have put one of them to use in February 2021. I use this switch to provide connectivity and power to four Reolink RLC-410-5MP security IP cameras. I live in a location with tropical weather climate (i.e., warm weather all year long, ambient temperatures between 78F-89F). This switch is housed inside a plastic junction box with no external ventilation. Providing this information to give an idea of the operating conditions and environment. After about 1-year of use, this POE network switch is still working as intended, and reliably. I had reservations about purchasing this switch over other well known brands. What ultimately convinced me was the price point of this switch and the two uplink ports, effectively making this a 10-port switch with 8 ports having POE+ capability. The other well known brands are typically sold as 5-port switches. The next selling point was that the other well known brands typically only have POE power output (15 watts per port), while this switch provides POE+ output (30 watts per port). While 30 watts is not required for the Reolink cameras that I am using, I wanted to have the capability to support higher wattage cameras, such as those with PTZ capability, should I decide to upgrade or replace the existing cameras. Finally, this switch offered all these additional capabilities at a price point that was lesser than the other well known brands. It was a risk to take even though it was cheaper, as this decision could have turned out to be more expensive if I ended up having to replace this switch with one of the well known brands. However, after about 13 months of use, this switch is still performing reliably! I haven't performed any benchmarks to confirm the Gigabit capability of this switch. The video feed from the Reolink cameras work flawlessly, but the data produced by the four cameras are not sufficient to saturate the gigabit capability of the switch. While I don't doubt the switch's gigabit capability, I also don't have data to support and confirm that the switch is, in fact, capable of gigabit transfers. I haven't even checked on this switch since I first powered it on. It has been maintenance free up to this point. The second unit that I purchased was for the purpose of providing an immediate backup unit, in the event that the first unit became inoperable. However, the second unit has just been sitting in storage gathering dust. Overall, my experience with the switch has been positive during the 1-year of use. I would buy this product again, for future projects that I may have that require POE+ capability.

This PoE switch is replacing a much more expensive unit that had loud fans. It has to be placed in a cabinet under my T.V. so the fans were annoying, plus I could tell that dust buildup was going to be a problem. I was also having intermittent problems with the old switch just refusing to communicate via any ports once in a while. When I wired this unit up it refused to send power to one of the PoE devices while the others were fine. After resetting and moving ports around I found that the problem followed the wiring and not the PoE device or the switch. Sure enough a CAT6 cable tester indicated an intermittent open. This switch refused to power the device and this is precisely what it should do when there is a wiring issue. I cut off the old connectors and put on new ones. Problem solved. This switch has been running 24/7 since the day of purchase. It runs cool, makes no noise and has been flawless. It is not managed but I don't really need any management features for this switch. I hope it sits quietly in the cabinet doing its job for so long that I forget I own it.

Rock-solid PoE switch, quieter than a mouse, holds up through hours and hours of continuous use. Recommend: Pure copper Ethernet cables, Cat 6 or better. Had it up and running in 5 minutes. The 1000 Mbps is plenty of port speed; 30 watts per channel is more than enough for me. I doubt I will ever pull that much power. I have 120 watts total across all 8 ports. Great router for my video production company using NDI technology

The seller replaced the switch even a few weeks after the warranty expired. Original POE switch worked for one year and one week connecting two cameras to the main router. It simply failed to connect two POE cameras. The new switch is working perfectly. Thank you for replacing and standing behind your product.

In general this is a great (albeit low end) PoE switch. For almost all my clients I haven't had any issues with either the Ethernet or PoE negotiation or connection. I say "almost all of them" because there are two Dell Wyse 5070s that refuse to negotiate any Ethernet link *at all*. In fact, whenever one of these thin clients are connected using their built in (Realtek RTL8111/8168/8411; unsure which exact model) NIC it takes the whole switch down. No blinkenlights..nothing. No network traffic is passed, and all other client and uplink ports go down. I don't think it's a problem with all these Realtek NICs, because I had multiple Acer's with the same NIC type and they worked fine. Maybe there's something unique to this Dell thin client, but all the same, watch out for weird behavior. And if all the lights go out when you plug something in maybe you'll find this review and know you're not crazy.

I am deeply disappointed with the 8 Port Gigabit PoE Switch that I purchased, and I feel compelled to share my frustrating experience. Despite its promises of efficiency and compliance with 802.3af/at standards, this switch has proven to be unreliable and far from satisfactory. The primary issue revolves around its inconsistent power delivery to connected devices. At times, the switch failed to provide the necessary power to all connected devices, leading to intermittent outages and disruptions. This unreliability is completely unacceptable, especially for a product designed to support Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices. The built-in power supply of 120W, which initially seemed promising, fell short of expectations. It struggled to handle the simultaneous power requirements of all connected devices, resulting in performance issues and, in some cases, complete device failure. Additionally, the promised 2 Gigabit uplink ports did not deliver the expected speed and efficiency. The overall network performance was lackluster, and data transfer rates were far from the gigabit speeds advertised. Moreover, the build quality and construction of the switch were subpar. The unit felt cheaply made, and the durability was questionable. I expected a more robust and reliable device, especially considering its role in managing network connectivity and power delivery. In conclusion, the 8 Port Gigabit PoE Switch failed to meet even the most basic expectations. Its unreliability, insufficient power delivery, and disappointing network performance make it a regrettable purchase. I cannot recommend this product, and my one-star rating reflects the dissatisfaction I have experienced.

My use was to replace another PoE unmanaged switch. I just plugged this in and it worked as desired with my camera system - all devices got an address, no setup or programming was required.

work great thanks

Funcionan perfecto, son puertos Gbit ethernet con poe y adema se controla desde la nube

So far works as expected
