Goalake PoE Switch, 8-Port 100Mbps with 2 Gigabit Uplink and 1G SFP, 802.3af/at,100 W for all PoE ports, AI Extend to 250m, Ideal for IP Surveillance and Access Point, Desktop/Wall Mount

No problems at all, worked as it should. The construction of it felt sturdy and not cheap, unlike the price tag. Will buy again.

I was so impressed I bought another a few months later!I bought my first one for 4 hikvision poe cameras and worked perfectly, so I bought another for another 4 reolink cameras and up to press they have performed brilliant!In the box is the unit itself a kettle lead power cable and instructions.The unit feels really well made, and has some weight behind it for a switch. The power lead is actually quality, nice and thick and well made, not your usual tosh you get with some unknown brand electronics.The size is just a little larger than a standard network switch.Please don't worry about the speed being 10/100 this is ample for cameras, for instance on one of my units I have a 3 x 5mp and 1 x 8mp cameras. The 8mp is an all bells and whistles one with 4 streams constantly running and they all run at full speed and stream perfectly.There is 5 ports in total all with a link light that flashes, one port is for access to your network and the other ports are for your cameras (or other poe devices) it's pretty clear what ports are what on the unit.All in all I'm really impressed so far especially for the price.Thanks

The POE switch works well powering three CCTV IP cameras and an uplink to another switch but note... The AI dip switch on the front of the unit which the instructions say to have in the off position for normal data and on for cameras, in the on position, my NVR couldn't detect the cameras that were connected direct to this switch but could recognise one that was connected elsewhere on my network. After hours of head scratching, I tried ignoring the manual and switched the AI dip to off and straight away, the cameras were found.

As part of my work, I install and use different brands of Hubs, Switches and Routers for CCTV installations and Smart Technology. However, in most cases it comes down the budget of the consumer of which products will better fit their needs as well as long term.It was when i was searching for a value for money small POE switch that I came across this brand, something I must admit havent come across before. It was advertising that all ports within the switch were POE, unlike others i was looking at within the same price bracket. So i thought i will give this brand a go.I was pleasantly surprised to see the product was nice and compact and was able to fit in an external electrical box for CCTV cameras as well as having it connected as the main switch for the consumer.As a result, i have purchased a few more from this brand and will continue to do so as long as they stay competitively priced.

Bought this POE ethernet switch to connect to my recently purchased Home Assistant yellow. The HA yellow version I bought was POE and this was my first venture into this way of powering devices.The reason I bought this switch was price. An outstanding deal for a 4 port POE switch compared to the others that in some cases were more than 2-3 times the price. I personally struggle to see the justification in some of the prices of these named brand switches for something that essentially is only providing power to a device over an ethernet cable.The box arrived next day after order and was very secure (inside its own little anti static bag) and also comes with a kettle type plug lead to power the switch. It also comes with a cat 6 ethernet cable to connect to a device.Once unboxed, I plugged the power into a socket near my router and using another ethernet cable I had, connected it direct into router. Power then turned on and light immediately came on the switch indicating that I was connected to my router.Then plugged in my new cat 6 cable and plugged it into the ethernet port on my HA yellow and the satisfying site of seeing the lights fire up.Overall, very happy so far with the switch and will be looking to add further POE devices to it and see how it handles a higher load.

This is great bit of kit just powered it up it got its own plug and all the heavy ethernet cables I had plugged into the back of our BT home hub are now neatly out of the way and stands up on its own and pushed over by all ethernet cables it used have plugged into it.

I have one of these installed in a customers outbuilding after a cable was damaged when a cable duct collapsed.Re-laying cable would have required ripping up a customers drive, due to poor installation from original contractor.Running a POE camera on a 50M cable, and a POE access point for a wifi bridge back to main house.Unit has been in place for about 18 months and hasnt skipped a beat.

this switch has not been able to power my Tplink AP, quite a disappointment
