8 Port Full Gigabit PoE+ Ethernet Network Switch, with 2 Gigabit Uplink Ports Up to 30W Per PoE Port, Total Budget 120W, 48 Volt 803.af 803.at Compliant, Compatible with PoE IP Cameras VOIP Phones

Replaced a noisy Lorex POE switch.

plug it in and it works!

This switch is robust and has more features than I need, at least for now. I just wanted something to chain into my home network to accommodate a laptop that runs my security system, and a couple wired IP PoE cameras. Bear in mind that this is supplying 48V for PoE, so make sure you have PoE equipment rated for that. Its sturdy, and has an internal power supply, so it plugs into a grounded outlet via a cord (no cheap wall wart, yay!). It works well for me in default mode, and if I needed it to work over longer runs, I could set it for extended which would boost the power, at the expense of speed, but still fast enough for cameras. I will probably never need to use the VLAN option, but its there and someone is going to need it. Its really a decent PoE switch and packs a lot of value for the money. Five stars.

This switch is great for smaller security systems, outdoor wifi or any other Power over Ethernet project you may have, such as IP phones. I am using it for both Camera and an outdoor wireless access point. PoE is a great way to power remote cameras with out having to run electric or batteries to them. Many WIFI cameras cap out at 1080p but with PoE you can place 4k surveillance cameras. No more potato quality videos. It is an unmanaged switch meaning there is no configuration interface. It is simply plug and play. One thing to be mindful of is the electrical power is 48V. Insure your device is compatible.

Great little POE switch. Installed it out at the detached garage. Ran fiber to it to create a backbone network with speed back to the house. Let me expand my camera coverage as I then added several cameras by POe to the switch. This gave more coverage to the camera network which is a good thing. So its a handy little switch to expand an already existing network with. Simple and easy.

Overall impression: I havent heard of this brand before but glad I tried them. They powered my POE Security camera without any issues. I tried many different IP security cameras including (Swann, Reolink, and Lorex) and they all powered up and was able to be recognized by my NVR system without any issues.

I wish they had POE 30 years ago when I first started doing networks! Just note, this is the standard 48v. (802.3af). Your gear should be good with 48v, but it is always a really good idea to double check. This is a standard, unmanaged, POE switch. Nothing too exciting. I personally like to use unmanaged switches whenever I can because it is just one less thing to complicate matters and they are easily replaced when necessary. (And, there is a trend Im seeing in managed switches for annual service contracts which is annoying.) This this is a small, basic, POE unmanaged switch which works the way it should. I compared this to another POE switch I had and didnt notice any difference at all in speed or packet loss. It just works. Overall, when it comes to an unmanaged switch, it just needs to work, and this does. I hope this review was helpful!

Nice, active, 4-port switch. I will use this to upgrade from battery powered security cameras to PoE cams.

I ordered this to replace an 8-port POE switch that wasnt capable of powering all of my cameras. This powers them all and also works to connect both of my NVRs, my NAS media server and my color laser printer to my home network. I have it set up in my basement, under the living rooms home theater system. I now have more open ports available for future network devices as well. Couldnt be happier with its performance. 5 Stars from me!

I got this to replace 2 smaller 4 port POE switches and it couldnt have been simpler, everything was plug an play including the SPF uplink to my other switch. A budget friendly way to add POE to your network.
