8 Port Full Gigabit PoE+ Ethernet Network Switch, with 2 Gigabit Uplink Ports Up to 30W Per PoE Port, Total Budget 120W, 48 Volt 803.af 803.at Compliant, Compatible with PoE IP Cameras VOIP Phones

Surprisingly great switch. For the price having a full 16 port 10/100/1000 and poe is an absolute deal. Works as you would expect, just simply plug and play. Overall would definitely recommend.

This router was super easy to set up and it worked great out of the box. The language on the unit was easy to understand and you knew exactly where the data cable would go for the input. The four output ports all worked without an issue.

I wish they had POE 30 years ago when I first started doing networks! Just note, this is the standard 48v. (802.3af). Your gear should be good with 48v, but it is always a really good idea to double check. This is a standard, unmanaged, POE switch. Nothing too exciting. I personally like to use unmanaged switches whenever I can because it is just one less thing to complicate matters and they are easily replaced when necessary. (And, there is a trend Im seeing in managed switches for annual service contracts which is annoying.) This this is a small, basic, POE unmanaged switch which works the way it should. I compared this to another POE switch I had and didnt notice any difference at all in speed or packet loss. It just works. Overall, when it comes to an unmanaged switch, it just needs to work, and this does. I hope this review was helpful!

This POE switch is a great upgrade to my home network. I still might use or find a place for my old switch, but this poe version will go well with a couple of cameras for the exterior. It really simplifies the process of installing said camera by running just a single wire, and not having (another device) dependent on wifi. The switch is plug and play, easy to setup. It is rated at gigabit, which is the max in my area, but might be a consideration for those qho have or will have faster internet available in their area; especially if this is purchased in an effort to futureproof your setup. Definitely recommended!

This switch is a descent option for a low budget switch where you run a flat single VLAN. It shows this able to run the higher POE power rating with AT & AF standards. Currently I do not have an AT device to test this with, so I cannot confirm that option. Next it has a fiber port, which is the reason I wanted it. A short fiber loop test indicates the port is functional but I cannot find the technical specs on port specifics. In the end I am going to install this outside in an outdoor enclosure with a POE camera and mesh AP using a fiber link to my core switch. At this time, I do not have all those components so I cannot test this switch to its full capabilities yet.

Commenting on the loudness of a switch doesnt seem to make sense but considering the last switch I was using was a 16 port netgear more designed for a data center than a house, it makes sense. That switch had a loud fan running at all times. Combined with the sound from my NVR providing the POE for some cameras, it made for a pretty loud tech closet. This switch is perfectly quiet but provides at least enough power for the 3 cameras I have plugged into it so far. Probably more but I havent gotten that far. Ive also got a couple items plugged into it which are not using the POE so it works for that situation as well.

Over the last few months, we have been swapping out our old CCTV cameras with modern POE digital cameras. The first thing you need is a good POE switch. One of my concerns was if the switch would support my existing cameras. The PSW16-2L had no problem supporting all nine of my current cameras even though they are four different models from three different manufacturers. The unit is very flexible in its POE support but it’s a good idea to check the standard supported by the device you’re hooking up to the switch. Some of the older POE devices do not comply with modern standards. The PSW16-2L will support up to 16 cameras as long as their total power usage does not exceed 300 watts. There is nothing to tell you how much power you are using so it’s a good idea to look at the specs for each device you hook up and keep track of it. It’s a nice looking, well-made unit with a steel case. It includes rack mounting brackets but does not have rubber feet for shelf use. The power supply has no fan, so the unit is silent. One interesting feature supported by the unit is VLAN mode. When you run cables to cameras mounted outside, you run the risk of someone hooking up to the camera cable and getting access to your network. In VLAN mode traffic on a port will only go to the uplink port and not to the other devices on the switch. It’s not a care for the problem but it can help. I do not recommend mixing POE and non-POE devices on the same switch. I know this unit will support it but it can also cause some hard to find problems. Overall, it’s a very nice unit for running things like cameras at a reasonable price and so far I’m very happy with it.

Great little POE switch. Installed it out at the detached garage. Ran fiber to it to create a backbone network with speed back to the house. Let me expand my camera coverage as I then added several cameras by POe to the switch. This gave more coverage to the camera network which is a good thing. So its a handy little switch to expand an already existing network with. Simple and easy.

This is a great, no-brainer POE switch for IP cameras if you want your surveillance system isolated from the rest of your network. It is why I ordered it.

This is a nice basic unmanaged power over ethernet-capable switch for small projects. If youre setting up a small IP camera setup or just want to send some power to a few devices with compatible PoE extractors, this is a great choice. The switch comes in a resilient metal case, with an attractive white front panel. Activity/status lights are on the front - a single green LED serves both purposes. On the back, theres a grounding screw and an IEC C14 power port. I appreciate that no external power adapter is needed, as its built into the switch. Two plus-shaped cutouts are on the bottom to allow you to wall mount it with screws, if desired. I really appreciate that, in addition to 8 powered ports, this switch provides 2 additional non-powered ports for uplink purposes. This is often overlooked in PoE switches and eats up one of your precious powered devices just to get an uplink connection. This isnt anything fancy, and if you need any sort of VLAN or managed switch support, you probably need to spring for a more elaborate option. But if you just want to get some proper PoE power to remote devices throughout your network at an affordable price, this is great.
