Intellinet 6 Port Fast Ethernet Unmanaged Switch with 4 PoE Ports

In this review the Intellinet 6 Port Fast Ethernet Unmanaged Switch is assessed as a practical, no-frills PoE option for small surveillance or access-point installs. The bottom line: it is best for installers who need a cost-conscious way to power and network a few devices without extra configuration, and the standout feature is its manual Extend mode that pushes PoE to distances up to 820 ft for remote cameras using compressed video formats.

Key Features

• Fast Ethernet: Auto-sensing 10/100 Mbps ports deliver compatible speeds to attached devices without manual configuration, simplifying setup.
• Extend mode: A physical switch changes from standard to extend, reducing speed to 10 Mbps while extending PoE reach to 250 m (820 ft), useful for distant IP cameras.
• Mixed PoE power: One high-power port provides up to 60 W and three PoE/PoE+ ports supply up to 30 W each, allowing a mix of high- and low-power devices on the same switch.
• 65 W budget: The shared PoE power budget of 65 W helps plan how many devices can be powered simultaneously without separate injectors.
• Two uplink ports: Two FE uplinks allow connection to non-PoE devices such as NVRs or other switches to integrate cameras into an existing network.

Who It's For

This switch is aimed at installers and small business owners wiring a compact IP camera system or a few PoE devices where cost and simplicity matter. The manual PoE extend capability is particularly useful for CCTV work that needs a longer reach without fiber or additional power runs.

It is not ideal for users who require gigabit speeds, managed features like VLANs, or larger deployments that need higher aggregate throughput or centralized PoE power management; those buyers should look to managed or Gigabit PoE switches instead.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Simple unmanaged operation that works out of the box with plug-and-play devices.
• Flexible PoE mix with one 60 W high-power port plus three PoE/PoE+ ports for varied device needs.
• Extend mode provides a practical cost-saving option to power remote cameras up to 820 ft away.

Cons

• Fast Ethernet only (10/100 Mbps), so it can bottleneck high-resolution camera streams or larger networks.

Our Verdict

For small CCTV installations or low-count PoE deployments that prioritize reach and budget over throughput, this Intellinet switch is a sensible choice because of its easy setup, mixed PoE outputs, and the useful Extend mode. Professionals who need gigabit speeds or advanced management features will find it limiting, but for remote camera feeds and simple networks it represents good value.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this switch power a remote camera at 820 ft?
Yes; when the manual Extend mode is enabled the switch provides PoE at up to 250 m (820 ft) but at a reduced 10 Mbps data rate.

How much power is available on the ports?
The unit has a total PoE budget of 65 W with one high-power port up to 60 W and three PoE/PoE+ ports up to 30 W each, shared across connected devices.

Is this switch manageable or gigabit?
No; it is an unmanaged Fast Ethernet (10/100 Mbps) switch, so it lacks management features and gigabit throughput.
