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

I plugged it in and hooked everything up and it worked. Nothing to do at all other than that. I love it when things work right out of the box.

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.

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.

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 thing is solid! I have a much smaller, lighter unit with fewer ports (8) and thought I would upgrade to this model. My current unit is located on a media board in the attic, so I was going to put this one there as well. The unit is rated at 300 watts and up to 50 degrees centigrade (122 F). Because of the heat generated by this 300 watt unit, Im not sure my attic is an appropriate location. Im concerned with this unit being fanless. The POe switch vents at each side (see pic). The summer heat will determine if it stays there. This thing is rugged and heavy, probably three times the size and weight of my 8 port unit. Other than this unit using natural venting, everything about it is professional grade. Performance has been glitch free, no problems.

Ive only been using this POE Switch for a short while, but Im already really impressed. The switch is built like a tank, and its been able to power all of my POE devices with no problems. The throughput speeds are also great, and I have had no lag when streaming video or transferring files. Overall, Im thrilled with this POE Switch. Its a great value for the price, and its perfect for anyone who needs a reliable and powerful POE switch. Here are a few of the things I like about this 16-port POE Switch: Excellent build quality. Plenty of power for connected cameras and devices. Good throughput speeds for POE usage. Affordable price. I have had no problems with this POE Switch so far, but if I do, I will update this review. But for now, I highly recommend it!

Good use, I really like it.

Just put this in to run my IP cameras and it works great! No setup needed. Fit in my rack and powered up the cameras with no problem. Note that the 2 uplink ports are SFP so if you plan to use vlan mode you will have to use a transceiver of some kind to link to your network. Im currently using one of the regular ports to uplink but ordered an SFP link cable since my main switch also has SFP ports. If the 2 uplinks were combo SFP / GB Ethernet ports it would have been 5 stars easy. As it is, it works perfect for me... but if you dont know what SFP ports are look that up before deciding to use this switch.

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

I have this switch connected 800 feet away to my barn that has 4 POE Reolink cameras. The uplink connection is via the SFP fiber port. Its crazy that they can offer a such a device for less than $30 - a steal of a deal especially with fiber. And to add to this, the power supply is built in so you dont have to deal with power bricks.
