The Mokerlink 8-PoE switch comes with power cable and instructions. The unit has some heft to it and is well-made (all-metal chassis). Looking inside, a reasonable sized transformer. Great value for 8-PoE slots, plus two for SFP ports (which I dont need at the moment) and it supports 10/100/1000 Mbps. Running six 4k PoE cameras (one is a PTZ), there was no lost in video resolution that I can tell. This unit is replacing a 4 -PoE plus a 2-PoE switch. With this switch, I still have two more ethernet slots to use. Rated 5-stars.

This MokerLink PoE switch helped me clean up some of the wiring mess I previously had. Ive been using a Ruckus WiFi hotspot for the (large) yard and it ended up being jury rigged since the prior switch wasnt PoE. I had to run an extension cord and an AC adapter to get the WiFi running. With this MokerLink switch, I was able to eliminate the extension cord and power supply and have the Ruckus powered over the CAT5 cable alone. Power seems good and the wifi is strong. Good switch!

This switch is really good. I was able to replace all the messy PoE injectors I had for my wireless access points and have the power come directly from this switch. So far, the switch has been really stable and fast, and the fact that the power supply is built into the switch is GAME CHANGING. Im on a mission to replace all those DC converter boxes that take up more than one plug space. This one uses a standard PC power cable, and I love that. The instruction manual is generic for many products, and this is where the product falls short. Not having a specific manual for the particular switch meant I had to go hunting on the Internet to figure out what the Extend 7-8 toggle did (It lets you violate the ethernet 100M range by sacrificing speed... Which I imagine is useful in EXTREMELY niche cases). The instruction manual also implied there was some configuration possible on uplink port speed, but this is an unmanaged switch, and theres only one toggle switch on the device. Everything is auto-negotiated, and I wasted some time trying to figure out how to configure it because the instructions were unclear.

This unit will allow me to extend my network by fiber connectivity to an outside building to improve speed and quality over my current Ethernet over electrical wiring configuration. It then can take advantage of PoE security cameras simplifying individual power packs and simplified wiring, and also interface with the router in that location with the added security of the SPF fiber cable connection between points. Although this unit provides 4KV of lightning protection the fiber cable connection alone offers protection in between points that might otherwise be a compromising factor as with electrical wiring configuration that can get a lot of spikes and dips. What I was also impressed with was the manufacturers full line of products and web site with tons of additional product information and Support tab for assistance. Everyone’s personal needs and configurations will be different of course. But this unit does offer a lot of options all in one system over using separate components.

If you are looking for a basic true plug-and-play switch with POE ports for cameras or access points then this is what you need. There is no web interface or any type of configuration that you can configure on the switch so everything is automatic. The PoE function of this makes it ideal for cameras as you can increase the power on two of the ports for far reaching cameras that use a bit more power than standard for LED lights a night or motorized panning and zooming. The SPFs are a great option for connecting this switch via a fiber connection for really long runs from the main network like a barn or shed that is away from the main building. The LED indicator lights are very small and produce very little light, but you can clearly seen the ports activity. A simple no nonsense PoE switch that just works.

Its nice to run one data link to the other side of the property to connect PoE devices instead of running each of the runs individually. The bandwidth of the uplink line is supporting everything so far. I am not currently using a fiber connection, but this is a great idea for additional building expansion. This is a pretty simple unmanaged PoE enabled switch. Pretty much plug and play.

Using this for our VOIP phones and it is working fine. I do wish they had lights to show POE functionality on the port. Getting gig speeds on the network. Had to order rack mount brackets which a lot of brands include.

The MokerLink 12 Port Gigabit PoE Switch was requested for the install of a new POE IP cam surveillance system to augment the analog system already in place. This switch is awesome in terms of features, in my opinion. The only feature this unit did not offer, which I thought should have been, is the VLAN switch capability that seems to be the current trend. Other than that, this switch is a gangbuster level switch. I gave a 5-star rating, anticipating a long service life. If that fails to be the case, Ill return and modify this review. I heartily recommend this device for anyone needing a simple POE switch!

Great little switch! Its exactly what I needed to add a couple of cameras where I didnt want to run a ton of wiring through walls to my patch panel. I cant believe it has POE at this price point either. Speeds are true at 1Gb/s, works well so far. Cant wait to see if it lasts, but if it does (and I see no reason it wouldnt), this will have been the most economical and awesome tech purchase Ive made in a while. Give it a shot if you need a switch at all, but especially if you need POE

This is my first standalone network switch, my previous experiences have been part of the WiFi router. So whats different from a newbie perspective? First of all the 8 Gb ports easily beat the 4 or fewer ports with the WiFi router. Then theres the PoE support. I have a network camera that has its own PoE adapter, with this setup I no longer need the adapter as Im getting power straight from the switch, nice! In terms of uplink connectivity, there are two Gb RJ45 ports as well as two SFP fiber ports. I dont have fiber in my area so I cant test the latter. I have this switch connected my Nest WiFi router which is itself connected to the cable modem, this way I can reach everything on my network. A couple other things I like about this switch. 1. The power supply is built in to the chassis so theres no wall wart to take up multiple sockets. 2. Its fanless, even though it can support 120W total PoE, thats pretty impressive and quiet at the same time. Ive only hooked this up for a few days so I cant speak to this reliability, but so far no complaints.
