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

Quiet, finless design, powers, your POE devices, easily without any noise. You can use all four ports, or only two in an extended POE setting, which allows further distances. There’s also a vlan switch to separate the four-ports from talking to each other, only to the uplink ports. Two uplink options exist, a gig copper ethernet port or a gig SFP fiber port. Does not support SFP+ modules. All ports support up to 1Gbps speeds.

Works great for six IP cameras. Three of them have onboard led lights and another is a PTZ. Haven’t had any issues so far with these offbrand switches. I have two of them. Before I had a mess of different poe power modules so I’m glad to finally consolidate everything into one. This was for my home setup.

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.

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!

Nice powerful switch, powered 8 cameras without any issue!

Easy to setup, works as supposed to....

only have a handful of PoE devices and all seem to be functioning for over a month without issue.

This switch is robust and has more features than I need, at least for now. I just wanted something to chain into my home network to accommodate a laptop that runs my security system, and a couple wired IP PoE cameras. Bear in mind that this is supplying 48V for PoE, so make sure you have PoE equipment rated for that. Its sturdy, and has an internal power supply, so it plugs into a grounded outlet via a cord (no cheap wall wart, yay!). It works well for me in default mode, and if I needed it to work over longer runs, I could set it for extended which would boost the power, at the expense of speed, but still fast enough for cameras. I will probably never need to use the VLAN option, but its there and someone is going to need it. Its really a decent PoE switch and packs a lot of value for the money. Five stars.

I have a few cat-5 lines in my house that I needed to connect to my router. This is perfect!

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!
