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.

**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.

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.

As other reviewers have indicated, this device is a boxy thing and has somewhat of a cheap appearance. That being said, its metal and solid. By what Ive seen its nice and durable. More importantly, it works. Its also gigabit PoE which is awesome, most of the PoE switches Ive seen are 100 mbps. This is a relatively inexpensive, unmanaged switch which you can easily set up and power your PoE devices with. Ive had no issues with it so far.

I tested this switch with two 8 megapixel security cameras running both at 15fps. I had no issues with the switch. It also provided power to the two cameras. I plan to use this for a full network of cameras and it looks like it will work just fine. The switch is super easy to use just plug it in with a standard computer power cord then plug in the back haul to your router then just plug in your POE cameras and your good to go.

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.

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.

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.

When I saw 2 up-links I thought Perfect, LACP. Nope. Not gonna happen. Somehow glossed over unmanaged in the description. How? Because it said 2 up-links. Doesnt work like that. Its a misleading description error. This is a simple POE dumb switch that has 8x 10/100 POE ports and 2x 10/100/1000 non POE ports. Not 2 up-links,only one can be used that way.. So if you wanted to LAGG it like I did you need a different device. This can up-link to your main switch or router with only one port. You could daisy chain another switch off of the other gigabit port, or an AP,or whatever, but you are NOT going to be using both ports as up-links. One feature I found missing that I prefer to have on POE switches is a POE indicator LED per port. Its a great way to easily see that the device you have attached is powered. Also a great way to know if you have a run configured off the switch for non POE use. Dont spend the extra $$ on this unless you need the 2 non POE gigabit ports for some reason - one is all thats needed.

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!

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.
