> 24 hourA Great price and nice quality for this small PoE Switch. I tested this with my Yealink phone and a PoE camera and it functioned exactly as expected. The switch is unmanaged so there is no interface to report. I found it was also great that they included 2 SFP cages for those who need a fiber uplink for distance.

> 24 hourThe MokerLink 12 Port Gigabit PoE Switch was requested for the install of a new POE IP cam surveillance system to augment the analog system already in place. This switch is awesome in terms of features, in my opinion. The only feature this unit did not offer, which I thought should have been, is the VLAN switch capability that seems to be the current trend. Other than that, this switch is a gangbuster level switch. I gave a 5-star rating, anticipating a long service life. If that fails to be the case, Ill return and modify this review. I heartily recommend this device for anyone needing a simple POE switch!

> 24 hourOver the last few months I have played with a lot of PoE switches and equipment and, for the money, this switch seems to be one of the better deals I have seen. First off, for 8 PoE ports, gigabit, 4 uplink ports, and a 120W power budget, the price is great. And, at least so far, it seems to actually work pretty well. While I havent loaded it all that heavily, it has worked with every device I have tested it with so far. Having two standard gigabit uplink ports is also nice and makes it very easy to cascade switches if needed. Also, this is the first switch I have seen in this price range and with these specs that included a pair of small form factor pluggable ports. While I dont need them immediately, I am happy to have them as it makes it much easier in case I want to run fiber optic cable outside my house or to my shed at some point. That this switch includes these two ports is essentially just icing on the cake. About the only negative comment I have on this switch is that the activity LED layout isnt the greatest and neither is the amount of information conveyed. It does at least show when something is connected and it blinks for activity, but connection speed and PoE power level would be nice indicators to have. Overall though, this switch seems to be one of the best deals I have found in terms of capability for the price.

> 24 hourIf you are looking for a basic true plug-and-play switch with POE ports for cameras or access points then this is what you need. There is no web interface or any type of configuration that you can configure on the switch so everything is automatic. The PoE function of this makes it ideal for cameras as you can increase the power on two of the ports for far reaching cameras that use a bit more power than standard for LED lights a night or motorized panning and zooming. The SPFs are a great option for connecting this switch via a fiber connection for really long runs from the main network like a barn or shed that is away from the main building. The LED indicator lights are very small and produce very little light, but you can clearly seen the ports activity. A simple no nonsense PoE switch that just works.

> 24 hourI had a 4 port POE switch for an ip cam and an outdoor POE Wi-Fi router but upgraded to this 8 port switch to accommodate more POE devices I recently got. This switch has gigabit speeds which is perfect for relocating a Wi-Fi router or devices that benefit from faster speeds, if I was using a switch for just ip cameras then I would have probably gone for a 10/100Mb just to keep the cost low since they don’t require much speed. The switch can output 30watts per port which should be enough for most devices and it also disables output power for devices that don’t require POE. Overall the switch has been working perfectly for my needs so far.

> 24 hourInexpensive and well-made switch is quiet and stays relatively cool while in use; the built-in power supply is an added plus so theres no external power brick to deal with. POE devices work great as expected and the SFP uplink ports work well and stays connected to the server.

> 24 hourIts nice to run one data link to the other side of the property to connect PoE devices instead of running each of the runs individually. The bandwidth of the uplink line is supporting everything so far. I am not currently using a fiber connection, but this is a great idea for additional building expansion. This is a pretty simple unmanaged PoE enabled switch. Pretty much plug and play.

> 24 hourThis is my first standalone network switch, my previous experiences have been part of the WiFi router. So whats different from a newbie perspective? First of all the 8 Gb ports easily beat the 4 or fewer ports with the WiFi router. Then theres the PoE support. I have a network camera that has its own PoE adapter, with this setup I no longer need the adapter as Im getting power straight from the switch, nice! In terms of uplink connectivity, there are two Gb RJ45 ports as well as two SFP fiber ports. I dont have fiber in my area so I cant test the latter. I have this switch connected my Nest WiFi router which is itself connected to the cable modem, this way I can reach everything on my network. A couple other things I like about this switch. 1. The power supply is built in to the chassis so theres no wall wart to take up multiple sockets. 2. Its fanless, even though it can support 120W total PoE, thats pretty impressive and quiet at the same time. Ive only hooked this up for a few days so I cant speak to this reliability, but so far no complaints.

> 24 hourUsing this for our VOIP phones and it is working fine. I do wish they had lights to show POE functionality on the port. Getting gig speeds on the network. Had to order rack mount brackets which a lot of brands include.
