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.

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.

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.

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!

**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.

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.

Supporting a POE access point in my basement to improve Wi-fi coverage in the house.

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.

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

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 have 3 kids doing virtual home school and had to set up internet in each of their rooms, I have a home office, surveillance cameras and my TV is also hooked up via ethernet. I needed a ethernet PoE switch with at least 6 plug in ports. Set this up in my attic to make sure the WiFi also reached cell and laptop range evenly throughout my home. Then I hooked up a direct ethernet connection to each location mentioned. Have not had any problems, works as advertised and gives out a good WiFi signal.
