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

This device works really great It was really easy to install. You can hook up every camera you need to and have it all coming to one display. Very happy with how it works. The device itself also seems to be pretty heavy duty, which is a definite, added bonus.

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!

For small networks unmanaged PoE switches are fine for phones and cameras. This works well. Easy to mount and use. No problem powering up 10 cameras and a phone. Its about time switches started coming down in price and having quality to them.

I ordered this to replace an 8-port POE switch that wasnt capable of powering all of my cameras. This powers them all and also works to connect both of my NVRs, my NAS media server and my color laser printer to my home network. I have it set up in my basement, under the living rooms home theater system. I now have more open ports available for future network devices as well. Couldnt be happier with its performance. 5 Stars from me!

Some updates: The fanless design. When a constant sound just disappears, only then do you realize the level of quiet you can achieve. I didnt realize how much fan noise my old POE switch created. Now, if only I could somehow reduce/remove the fan noise from my NVR. The SFP ports. As far as I can tell, these ports are not meant for tandem/redundant use. Meaning, you cant run both SFP ports to the same device. There are some devices out there that do have redundant ports but in my use and testing, this switch is not one of them. You really only need the SFP ports if you are using the VLAN mode. If not, just use one of the 16 ports as an uplink. You can also find a cheap SFP RJ45 module (youd only need one--I got two unnecessarily) for your uplink and still have 16 available POE ports. And even if you use a SFP port for an uplink, VLAN is optional. Im only using 9 POE devices so I cant speak on the power delivery. Its more than enough for my current setup. Ive only been using it for a couple months or so and just cleaned up the cabling. Added some shielded CAT8 cables (overkill). Its been working great. Also no changes in temperature in my cabinet. Its also been colder than usual but still the cabinet has the same airflow in a climate controlled building so no temperature change, for me, is a good thing. Original review: Great POE switch with rack brackets included. Would work just sitting on a shelf as well. Having the 2 SFP ports is an upgrade for me but I didnt expect and dont see a performance difference. I suppose I need faster equipment to be able to see a difference. Or speeds just hit a ceiling at my (low) level. It was a simple swap... As simple as unplugging and plugging cables can be. Nothing more to add really. Its a switch and it does what it says.

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.

plug it in and it works!

Solid built and good venting for positive airflow to control heat. This switch is a must have for any security system as it gives POE to ell ports with great throughput and two full gigabit SPF ports which allow the addition of various SPF connections. I will be adding a fiber connection as this 8s how we connect verious buildings together to save wireung and costs.

Got this Switch right along with one of the new Dual Camera offerings from REOLink and wow is it bright. Ok let me talk about the switch. I love POE devices and have installed many a VIOP, Access point, and Security camera to POE routers. This is my first 16 port personal system and Im excited as it will help me grow my security system as I get more and more POE cameras over time. Next item is a NVR so I can store video locally and see all my cameras in one place . This is an unmanaged switch so you cannot manage data flow but it does also have 2 SFP Uplink ports (Ill never need it in this house but the next one YES as Ill have that one Fully networked) And Data transmission modes I left it in the normal setting just for my install. I also have a High Gain Antenna which is repeating my wifi across my home and also way out into my yard. This helps my cameras get a network signal so I didnt have to run a cable all the way across my home. I really enjoy the flexibility of a POE Switch especially to be able to power the other devices and helps me minimize my labeling needs. I do like that this has its own power supply not a wall wart or a brick. This makes install os much easier . Currently everything is directly patched and not run through a crawl space or attic. I plan on adding a few more cameras to this and those will be ran in the attic. Im impressed that its noise free and should support the current home I am at for all my POE needs. Pros: 19 inch rack mount with brackets built in power supply Uplink ports for expandability 3 Data Transmission modes quiet operation Cons: None so far

I have a bunch of POE cameras that used to have a hodge-podge of things to power them: a super old NVR, some inline injectors, and a small POE switch. This eliminated all of that mess, and has been working perfectly so far! I even used the SFP port to uplink it to my Ubiquiti dream machine pro.
