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 switch has 4 POE 10/100/1000 ports and 2 uplink port (1 RJ45 and 1 SFP). THe SPF uplink means that you can install a fiber adapter and electrically isolate this switch from the rest of your network. The 4 POE ports can be VLAN isolated and can only communicate with the uplink ports. This means that an intruder cannot unhook one of your camera and access the other cameras. Lightweight, fan-less, lightning protected and 65 power budget (30w max per port).

This seems like a solid purchase. Its pretty quiet and does basic routing. Very easy to use with no setup required.

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.

easy set works well can handle multiple devices on poe with out problems

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.

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 switch feels well built. The metal construction gives it some weight. This is an unmanaged switch with some options that I have not used. It has 2 sfp ports as well as the 16 poe ports. Throughput is gig speed and consistent.

rugged product Works great, seems rugged product.

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 is a very sturdy unit and I finally got to connect all my devices in the central point in my home which use Ethernet. I replaced a couple much smaller and older models that were not working as well as they should have. There has been a noticeable increase in performance with this and everything wired in the same place is much more convenient. Very happy!

This is perfect for anybody who has a network closet and just needs to get all their cables connected throughout the house. Its a dumb switch, no management at all, but delivers full gigabit speed to all devices. It even has POE so I converted some devices to POE like my access points and it worked so much better and looked cleaner throughout the house. It worked perfectly well for how long I had it but I ended upgrading to a managed switch only because I wanted vlan configurations. If you dont need any type of configuration then this switch is going to work super well and at the price its pretty good considering how much other switches cost + you get poe! 10/10 for me for what it is.
