1 year later, still performing reliably!
I purchased two of these in January 2021, and have put one of them to use in February 2021. I use this switch to provide connectivity and power to four Reolink RLC-410-5MP security IP cameras. I live in a location with tropical weather climate (i.e., warm weather all year long, ambient temperatures between 78F-89F). This switch is housed inside a plastic junction box with no external ventilation. Providing this information to give an idea of the operating conditions and environment.After about 1-year of use, this POE network switch is still working as intended, and reliably. I had reservations about purchasing this switch over other well known brands. What ultimately convinced me was the price point of this switch and the two uplink ports, effectively making this a 10-port switch with 8 ports having POE+ capability. The other well known brands are typically sold as 5-port switches. The next selling point was that the other well known brands typically only have POE power output (15 watts per port), while this switch provides POE+ output (30 watts per port). While 30 watts is not required for the Reolink cameras that I am using, I wanted to have the capability to support higher wattage cameras, such as those with PTZ capability, should I decide to upgrade or replace the existing cameras. Finally, this switch offered all these additional capabilities at a price point that was lesser than the other well known brands. It was a risk to take even though it was cheaper, as this decision could have turned out to be more expensive if I ended up having to replace this switch with one of the well known brands. However, after about 13 months of use, this switch is still performing reliably!I haven’t performed any benchmarks to confirm the Gigabit capability of this switch. The video feed from the Reolink cameras work flawlessly, but the data produced by the four cameras are not sufficient to saturate the gigabit capability of the switch. While I don’t doubt the switch’s gigabit capability, I also don’t have data to support and confirm that the switch is, in fact, capable of gigabit transfers.I haven’t even checked on this switch since I first powered it on. It has been maintenance free up to this point.The second unit that I purchased was for the purpose of providing an immediate backup unit, in the event that the first unit became inoperable. However, the second unit has just been sitting in storage gathering dust.Overall, my experience with the switch has been positive during the 1-year of use. I would buy this product again, for future projects that I may have that require POE+ capability.

Excellent PoE Switch – A Dependable Networking Solution!
As a networking enthusiast, I recently purchased the 8 Port Gigabit PoE Switch with 2 Gigabit Uplink, and it has exceeded all my expectations! This unmanaged switch is a true gem for setting up a reliable and efficient network infrastructure.The switch’s 8 Gigabit PoE ports, along with the 2 Gigabit uplink ports, provide ample connectivity options, making it perfect for my home office setup and small business needs. The 802.3af/at compliance ensures seamless integration with my PoE-enabled devices, eliminating the need for additional power adapters and clutter.One of the standout features is the built-in 120W power capacity, which easily handles all my power-hungry devices, from IP cameras to access points, without any hiccups. I’ve been using it for several weeks now, and it has operated flawlessly, delivering consistent power and data transmission.Setup was a breeze, as the plug-and-play design allowed me to get everything up and running in minutes. The sturdy metal construction adds a sense of durability, and the compact size doesn’t take up much space in my networking cabinet.Overall, I am extremely pleased with the performance and reliability of this PoE switch. It has become an essential part of my network, and I would undoubtedly choose it again without hesitation. If you’re in need of a hassle-free, high-quality PoE switch, look no further – this one gets the job done brilliantly!

Works quite well as long as your cables are on the shorter side. I had 3 IP POE PTZ cameras – 2 with 72m cables and 1 at 82m. I ran 23ga CAT6 cable and this switch would not power the cameras properly and kept shutting them down. For shorter cable runs it worked perfectly with the same cameras (25w power draw in startup each)

Muy buen producto. Mis cámaras PoE marca Meriva y Dahua, incluyendo una cámara inteligente que fotografía placas de automóbiles, funcionan al 100% y la verdad es que los compré a muy buen precio. No he instalado cámaras en los 8 puertos al mismo tiempo, pero por lo que veo no tendré problemas en el futuro con este switch.

Excelente
