plug it in and it works!

First time try this new brand and it works well.

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

So to get this out of the way first, I did not have an immediate need for PoE, but was looking to expand my switch capacity in my basement in preparation for eventually getting my cameras and knowing they will be wired down to the basement. The unit came packaged well, looks good, and appears to be of solid construction. One downside to me is I would have liked to have wall-mounts on the bottom of the unit so that I could easily hang it from the wall. To me this is the only reason I wont be giving this a 5 star rating at this point. It seems like a bit of an oversight to me. To be perfectly clear, the listing didnt say that it could be mounted, but I guess I had an expectation for virtually every device like this to have mount points on the bottom. I replaced my 5 port switch that was being fed by my fiber router, which also connects to two ethernet feeds to my mesh network. I havent noticed any sort of decrease in performance, no weirdness like dropped packets or anything. But then again, a switch is pretty much a switch, so I wouldnt have expected to have anything work any worse or better in terms of ethernet switching. Once we get the cameras ordered and installed and use this for PoE I will update the review.

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

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.

We had one that broke from a power outage, and this works for us. I have five PTZ cameras outside, and it powers all of those just fine. I like that it came with rack ears so that I could mount it in my rack. I like that the LED indicator lights are to the left side. It makes it easy to see that you have connectivity at the port without having to move a bunch of patch cables around to look. This comes in at a good price point.

This is a nice gigabit switch that I used to connect a ubiquity AP in order to extend the range of wifi across a large property. It was able to extend my network and maintain the gigabit speed all throughout. The switch comes neatly packed with a warranty card and an instruction manual. It is very well made.

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!

As the title says this is a solid switch for general purposes. But for those who are starting or upgrading their home lab Id suggest investing in something better, this wont have all of the functionality youre looking for.
