Cqenpr 19 Port PoE Switch, 16X10/100M Port PoE, 2 Gigabit Uplink, 1 SFP Slot, Unmanaged, Desktop/Rack-Mount, Plug&Play, 300W, 802.3af/at/bt, Metal case, PoE++60W High Power Output.

We used these for a temporary setup running voip phones and connected PCs. Worked great. No issues with connectivity. I would not try to run an enterprise network on these but for temporary situation with up to 8 devices they worked good.

Okay Ill be the first to admit I never heard of Cqenpr. But I needed a POE switch and I needed one fast so I took a chance. (see blow for explanation of POE) What a pleasant surprise! Firsdt of all this is a gigabit switch on all ports. The case is steel. It uses a plug instead of a brick so it doesnt take up extra outets. And even comes with rack mount adapters. The POE works great. I powered three devices - two security cameras and a network appliance and after 24 hours the box wasnt even warm. Throughput seems fine. I happened to have to update an old PC to Win 10 and the process through this switch went fast and flawless. Good value! *** POE - Power Over Ethernet *** In case you dont know, POE is a way of powering a device over the same cable as data. Many IP security cameras now use POE to simplify wiring. The same CAT 6 ethernet cable carries both data and power so only one cable is needed to each camera. This switch exceeds POE standards in supplying plenty of power out all eight ports. The total wattage though is divided up across all eight ports so just make sure you dont exceed 120W total, up to 30W for a single port.

Using this for the wired connections after the WIFI/Router. I needed a hub for the wired TV/Firestick/Garage opener/Arlo and to extend other wire connections around the house. this 8 port Gigbit worked like a charm. plug and works. was able to handle all traffic and keep up with the speed throughout the house. Pro Easy to setup. Plug and play. no messy configuration screens. 8 ports to hook up many devices to it. Cons the power cable that it came with is too short, hard to reach the power strip. I reused one of my PC power cords to make it easier. I would recommend this product as a ethernet hub.

We have quite an extensive home network. When we built the house 20 years ago we asked them to install conduit, instead of installing networking cables. This has been great as we have been able to easily keep up with new networking standards. This switch was our first experience with PoE. Up until now weve just never needed it. But now we are installing some security cameras that we wanted hard-wired and this means PoE. Now we havent installed it yet, but we have everything laid out on a test bench. All our cameras connected to the PoE switch and everything is working like a champ. We wanted to be sure to test all the cables etc. to make sure everything we planned on using would work before we ran the cables throughout the house. So far so good. Easy to setup, worked as expected first try.

Purchased this to upgrade to a 8 port from the 4 port. Using for security cameras. No issues at all. Wish I could get full size rack mounts for it.

This is my second switch from this company. These are rock solid reliable and built like a tank. At this price, they are dang near disposable. You will have a hard time finding another high quality switch for this price.

I got this Cqenpr 8 Port Full Gigabit Poe Switch to try and this is the 2nd unmanaged switch I got to review. I like this one much better. Here is my review. The good: - Reliable. I have not had any issue with it for over 1 weeks usage. - Easy to install. Just power on and connect it with the network cables. - 8 gigabyte ports were supported. - Price is reasonable.

**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.

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.

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.
