Its a nice feeling when a piece of electronic equipment doesnt need any complicated setup or configuration. Due to the current state of the world, I have a variety of devices in my office that I wanted to hard-wire to the internet to ease the strain on the WiFi in the rest of the house. So all I had to do was plug this into the wall, and run ethernet to my router and each device. Simple, no maintenance setup. Throughput seems good to each device and the box makes no noise and stays cool. Im not currently using any PoE devices on it but it is nice to have that option for the future.

Ive never heard of Cqenpr before and its pretty clear theyre one of these companies that comes up with a random company name, then buys a bunch of unbranded products from China, throws their name/logo on it, and then sells it on Amazon as theirs, alongside silicone oven mitts and dash cams. Theres nothing inherently wrong with that provided the product is actually good. In this case, they have chosen a pretty good unmanaged desktop switch. List price is listed as $59.99, but I would not purchase it for that much and say that what makes this switch so attractive is that it is a PoE switch at a much lower price point than its competitors. If youre going to spend $60 on a PoE switch, I would buy one with brand recognition and known technical support, like a Netgear. But if you just want something that does the job, it doesnt seem like you can go wrong (yet) with this one. I have it mounted in my attic and run a line from myb computers switch to it, in order to power some security cameras outside my house without having to run separate power to them. All 8 switches have PoE on them, which is great if you have that many devices, since a lot of PoE switches only have a few dedicated ports for PoE. It provided plenty of power to three security cameras and theyre working great. If you dont need to have PoE on your switch, I would also recommend you go with another option.

I have been on a tear setting up security cameras at my home. Not that I live in a bad neighborhood or anything, I just want to have complete surveillance. So, the challenge was setting them up at the gutter line so to speak. Some cameras dont require any hookup at all, but only a sunny location so the solar panels keep the batteries charged. They work off of Wi-Fi and although I am impressed with their connectivity, I still am a dedicated hard wire fan. So, the thing is if you have a Wi-Fi camera that requires a power hookup, like a 110 A/C line feeding an adapter you will need to run that through the attic. If it is designed for a hard wire ethernet, plus an A/C adapter, you will need both. So now you are running A/C wiring connections in addition to Ethernet. The real conundrum is drilling holes in your home, and securing them from moisture and bug invasion makes it all the more challenging. So, next to a solar unit with possibly spotty Wi-Fi this is the best setup because you only run one ethernet cable, and nothing else. So, I put this POE switch to the test and ran it to my HView cameras and bingo it worked, no problems. Just make sure that if you run POE from every port on the switch you dont exceed the maximum output. So as a switch it works great, as a POE (Power Over Ethernet) it works great. What else is there. Highly recommended.

Nice little 8 port PoE gigabit switch. Fanless design, comes with rack mounting ears and hardware, as well as a power cord (not a brick). PROS: 1. All 8 ports are gigabit and PoE capable. There is no designated uplink ports, you can use any one of the ports since theyre all the same. 2. Green indicator lights below each port to indicate link has been established. 3. Ports each fit ethernet connectors satisfactorily with an audible click up on proper insertion. 4. I achieve the same speeds via the switch that I do connected directly to the ethernet from the router. I dont have gigabit internet so I cannot speed to that. 5. Each port has PoE capability. CONS: 1. Unlike other switches, this one only has a single green indicator LED to indicate a link has been established. I prefer having a seperate LED to indicate power and also one for the link like you see in other PoE switches. Its a minor thing, but its relevant. BOTTOM LINE: This is a well performing, no frills, budget oriented 8 port gigabit PoE switch. Its well priced and delivers on performance.

**UPDATE** After a bit of use, this has developed a nasty high-pitched electronic ring/hum to it. Since these can be/generally are tucked away in a closet somewhere Ive only knocked off one star, though if this was something thats meant to be on a desk (mine isnt tucked away in a closet somewhere) Id knock off two or three stars - its headache-inducing bad. **Original** So far, I dont have anything negative to write about this switch - it works for PoE devices (make sure your device accepts a standard PoE - some PoE devices dont run on standard PoE and this wont work for those devices), its silent, and its high speed. Id like to see more activity lights on it - theres just one per port that lights up if its connected and the same one blinks for activity (same color). The only slightly suspicious thing about this is that it looks/feels almost exactly like other no name brand switches on Amazon - like theres just a big factory that manufactures them then companies slap their branding on it and resell it. Thats not a problem as far as performance goes, I suppose, just makes you wonder about the quality/support of the product down the road. That being said, overall, Id still recommend this switch.

Solid performance, running security cameras over PoE. Came with all the hardware that I needed to mount the device, shipping was prompt with no damage to the package. Yup - all as expected.

These isnt a dedicated port for you source, so it is an all-open switch. I mostly acquired this because I am installing security camera on all of the remaining outside walls of my home. Attic access is the way. I am surprised after setting up several of today’s security cameras that the Wi-Fi works as well as it does. Although it is spotty on a couple. I love hard wiring things for no-hassle signals. This is a metal box, very substantial, nothing Mickey Mouse about it. It comes with two brackets in the event you want to install it on a rack. Its full gigabit on all ports, and since many security cameras can draw their power from a single POE Ethernet cable this is just what the doctor ordered. It has a max power draw of 30 watts. The price is rather attractive. I used to pay several times this amount for a good POE switch.

This CQENPR 10 port switch is very powerful, it has 8 PoE port and two Gigabit uplink. It is work with 120W, 802.3af/at and ready to plug and play with metal case. It is finless so it has no any noise. It has intelligent power supply, low power consumption, ensure PD side power demand and zero noise environment impact. I liked it and definitely recommend to buy.

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.

Works perfectly, just wish the one I got to review was the one I actually needed for my setup. I received the 8x 100mbps poe+ 2x gb port switch to review but I want ~8gb lines for my mesh routers, nas, desktop, and gaming console. Since these switches have so few reviews, I thought it was a good chance to test the quality before ordering one and I can honestly say Im pleased. Ill be ordering the 8gb port switch for actual use. The build is solid and the ports properly auto detect poe and non poe lines. These are quite a bit cheaper than the big names (netgear, linksys, etc). If youre just looking for a switch, there are cheaper options. A poe switch with the right setup means not having to run extra power lines when you upgrade components like routers and security cameras. You could also run devices like a pihole (adblocking DNS) or pinas without having to figure out power bricks. 120W is very convenient!
