This is an excellent POE switch with built-in power supply so there is no external power brick to mess with. Although size wise, it is a little larger than switch with external power block, it is better for installation. It is also only slightly larger than my 6 port POE switch. When buying POE switch, one has to be aware if the switch can auto sense none POE devices on POE port. I have seen some cheaper switch doesnt have this safety feature, they require splitter to connect to none POE devices and that not only increase the actual cost, but possibly will damage your devices if you plugin to the wrong port. This one has the auto sensing as it should be. I use this switch for security cameras and It is very solid so far. The unit is fanless and the metal case remains cool. The only thing I wish they done differently is they combined the VLAN and extend POE length to one selection, while they should be independently selectable. My other two POE switches can do so. By saving the cost of a select switch, the manufactur made it less flexible than it could.

The power budget for devices when using this switch is pretty decent- it easily powers up my Ubiquiti access points. The network performance coming through this switch is no different than it was when I was connecting the APs to my core router directly and using POE injectors. This also uses a standard AC cable, no wall wart or external converter box. The large amount of POE power available and standard power cable are great, as is the very low price. However, for that low price one gives up the ability to manage it. Its a chunky, cheap looking thing and the LEDs give basically no usable info other than something is plugged in and theres some activity. Its a good option for just sticking in the back of an equipment rack to plug multiple devices in to home-run back to the core. Either that, or for powering up multiple POE cameras, APs or something... I wouldnt use this as a core router due to no ability to manage or measure anything on it. Its simple, it works and has plenty of power for your devices if thats what youre looking for.

This small, silent, unmanaged Ethernet switch has 8 super fast PoE ports (100/1000Mbps) that not only provide high speed internet but automatically detect if the plugged in device needs power and, if so, how much! I did thorough testing on this unit over the last couple of months and I am thoroughly impressed by the performance. By utilizing the built in chip this switch will provide up to 30 watts to every Ethernet device connected (up to a total of 120 watts) but will not provide any power to devices that do not require power. I found that this switch works absolutely flawlessly. Having the capability to provide super fast internet speed and power at the same time makes this switch perfect for both business environments and as a hub for security systems. I used this switch within my security system setup and mounted it within my attic to a beam with ease. I love that it is easily wall mountable but it can also be mounted within a rack with no problem. I’ve tested my unit extensively using different security cameras and the results are nothing short of incredible. While most security cameras can be run via WiFi, nearly all of them still require a power adapter be plugged in. By utilizing this hub, security breaches are all but eliminated - by utilizing Ethernet instead of Wifi transmission your local storage unit makes it so there is no easy out of network access. In addition, transfer speed, resolution and picture quality is greatly increased - making the entire system more useful. In my experience, I found power is much easier to manage utilizing this method as opposed to having to run separate power supplies to each camera. This is an all around outstanding product that I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. This unit is sure to hold up well and perform even better.

Great product overall, gigabit-speed with Poe also really like the standard power cord and not the bulky one that most of these Poe switches has and very good price. Thanks

QUICK SUMMARY: This switch works well. I intend to use it for my homes Ethernet drops. WHAT I LIKE: - Compact design - Includes rack ears - Simple, readable manual - PoE works as advertised (and didn’t fry the non-PoE switch I plugged it into) - Power cable fit very snug in the back of the switch so it will stay in if mounted upright WHAT COULD BE BETTER: - Short power cable limits options (but it’s a standard IEC connector) CONCLUSION: Good product, solves the technical problem I had in my home.

Im contemplating replacing my analog security cameras with PoE powered digital versions, so Im going to need more PoE ports to support them. Currently I have a 5 port PoE switch that does a great job of powering my three Ubiquity access points, but it leaves me with just one empty PoE port. I saw this 8 port PoE switch and thought it would be a great way to increase my PoE port count, and it has done that (almost) perfectly. The first thing that attracted me to this switch was the fact that all 8 ports are PoE. Most of the Name Brand switches in this price range have only 4 PoE capable ports. The second thing was the power budget - 120 watts. This should be more than ample for any cameras I would choose. The fact that it has a metal case and doesnt require an external power adapter is also attractive to me. The case is exactly 1 rack unit in height, so even though it doesnt have rack ears available I was able to slip it into an available 1U opening, and it sits on top of the 24 port non-PoE switch without issue. My existing 5 port PoE switch is made by the same manufacturer as this 8 port model, and it has operated flawlessly. The case sizes are exactly the same, so I just swapped the units. This unit doesnt have a dedicated uplink port - it autosenses the uplink and disables PoE for that port. It also autosenses the load on downlink ports and enables or disables PoE appropriately. Ive only discovered one thing that Im not crazy about. On the 5 port version, there are leds to indicate if a given port is providing PoE, and if a port is connected and passing data. On this 8 port switch, there is only one led per port, and it only indicates that the port is connect and passing data - it DOES NOT indicate the PoE status. Needless to say, this is an unfortunate omission by the manufacturer, as its an important troubleshooting tool. Other than that, Im completely happy with this switch and would buy it again.

Ive been using this for a couple months now powering 3 security cameras, and Ive had no problems. Technically, since there is no separate input port, this is only a 7 port switch. Im sure there are many other switches with this same feature, but you do need to plan ahead if you actually need to power and connect 8 devices. My 4 port Netgear PoE switch does have a dedicated input port so you can connect 4 devices. If you have 7 or fewer devices to feed, this looks like a good option.

This unit was easy to install. Just plug it in and it works. This unit has (2) 1,000 Mbps, (8) 10/100 Mbps ports. I’m looking to share up to 1,000 Mbps on my network, but I should have read the description more closely. The max speed youll get on any of the 8 10/100Mbps ports is 100 Mbps. There are two ports labeled Uplink 1000Mbps, and in my testing, I found that if I connect one of those ports to the router and the other to the PC, I can get higher than 100Mbps on the PC. My test: Modem direct to PC: 280Mbps PoE Link 10/100Mbps to PC: 91Mbps Uplink 1000Mbps to PC: 280Mbps The label on the far right of the box says “8POE + 2G 10/100/1000 Mbps” but it should say “8 POE 10/100 Mbps + 2 1000 Mbps” When you look online at other brands, they say “10/100/1000Mbps Ports” which means that all the ports can go any of those speeds.

I’m soon changing from analog to IP (Internet Protocol) so I can see what’s going on using my current WiFi to the internet and see what my cameras see at any given moment in time. I will also be able to see and move my PTZ’s (Pan, Tilt, Zoom) cameras as well. My analog system is limited and won’t do what IP can. However, This eight port PoE (power over Ethernet) will let me use my analog system and make it a networking one using some add on pieces (PoE Splitters) to convert the analog to IP. Very cool indeed. The instructions are well enough and the pictures definitely add to the text on how it done. Four Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!!!

I cant get it to power a brand new TP Link AC1350 AP. The AC1350 powers up fine with my 7 year old 4 port poe switch and an included splitter. However it powers a couple HIK cameras just fine and otherwise works as a switch. The price is good, but weird incompatibility with the AP means Ill probably return it if a little more fiddling doesnt resolve the issue.
