Gigabit 10-Port PoE+ Switch (8 PoE+ Ports, 2 Uplink) - Reliable 120W

In this review the Gigabit 10-Port PoE+ Switch is assessed as a practical, no-frills solution for small offices and camera networks. The switch stands out for offering eight 802.3af/at PoE ports plus two gigabit uplinks in a compact, fanless metal enclosure, and the single biggest reason to buy is its combination of sensible PoE power management and plug-and-play simplicity that gets cameras and PoE devices online without extra configuration.

Key Features

• 8 PoE+ ports: Provides power and data to IP cameras and other PoE devices over a single Ethernet cable to reduce clutter and installation steps.
• 2 uplink ports: Two gigabit uplinks let you connect to different routers or NVRs for flexible network layouts and separable traffic flows.
• 120W total power: Supplies up to 120W across ports with up to 30W per port, enough for most modern PoE cameras and access points.
• 802.3af/at compatibility: Works with a wide range of PoE and non-PoE devices and supports use with inexpensive PoE splitters for legacy gear.
• Unmanaged, fanless design: Metal, plug-and-play construction keeps noise down and simplifies mounting on a desk or wall without extra setup.

Who It's For

This switch is aimed at small-to-medium sized businesses, installers, and home office users who need a straightforward PoE distribution point for multiple IP cameras, access points, or other PoE endpoints. It is especially useful when a compact, quiet, and durable metal unit is preferred over a rack-mount managed switch.

It is not targeted at users who require advanced network management features such as VLANs, QoS configuration, or PoE scheduling; those buyers should look at managed switches. Also, very large deployments needing more than 120W or higher per-port guarantees may need a higher-capacity unit.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Solid metal build and fanless operation deliver quiet, durable operation for indoor placement.
• Good value: gigabit speeds on every port and 120W total make it capable for mixed camera and AP setups.
• Plug-and-play simplicity reduces installation time for non-technical users and installers.
• Intelligent per-port power detection protects non-PoE devices and supports passive and active PoE endpoints.

Cons

• Unmanaged feature set means no VLANs or advanced traffic controls, so it is less suitable for complex networks.
• Some users report mixed experiences with initial setup simplicity, so first-time installers may need basic networking knowledge.

Our Verdict

The Gigabit 10-Port PoE+ Switch is a pragmatic choice for users who need reliable PoE delivery without management overhead; its metal, fanless build and 120W power budget make it a strong value for camera and small office deployments. For those who want simple installation and broad device compatibility, it delivers dependable performance at a competitive price point.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this switch power non-PoE devices?
Yes; the switch senses devices and will not supply PoE to non-PoE endpoints, and non-PoE devices can be used directly or via PoE splitters if needed.

How much power is available per port?
The unit supports up to 120W total with a maximum of about 30W available per PoE port depending on overall load.

Is any configuration required to use the switch?
No; it is an unmanaged, plug-and-play switch that works out of the box for simple networks and PoE devices.
