I purchased this POE switch for camera work. Based on the specs. it should have had no problem. The output per channel on the switch was 15 watts. My camera max draws 7.5 watts. The camera would not turn on and the switch indicated that the camera had a short, not true.

I use this with three POE VoIP desktop phones from three different manufacturers. On all three phones, you can hear noise on the audio from the POE switching regulator. This is very disappointing.

I bought this unit to use with my POE cameras and it worked great. The only down side is you can't configure which ports have POE on or off. Best POE switch I have found for the money.

Ease of use

Lack of configuration

I used this switch to network 4 hikvision IP cameras, it lasted 13 days. POE is still working but no network connectivity. port lights flash on power up but not when Ethernet connections are made. For what it cost it's not worth the investment in time to deal with customer service. live and learn.

nice power supply and rigid construction

unreliable for me

You plug in a POE device, and it gets powered. That's about all there is to it. The power adapter appears to be of good quality. I have not been able to test it with a heavy load of multiple devices and long ethernet cables, but, it works as a desktop switch with a phone.

It works as it should; Easy to set up

None

The Day before I purchase the TP-LINK 8-Port Fast Ethernet Desktop Switch with Power Over Ethernet PoE, my neighborhood suffer a power outage from ConEdison, with my electric service going off and on until everything went black.

Product delivered as expected. Worked as expected. AusPost seemed to push out the delivery unfortunately.

Easy to setup and provides plenty of PoE power. I had one fail after a severe power surge, so putting it on a power filter is a good idea. I didn't check throughput, but for powering up to four PoE Ethernet devices this is great.
