MokerLink 8 Port Outdoor Gigabit PoE Switch - Weatherproof 120W PoE

In this review the MokerLink 8 Port Outdoor Gigabit PoE Switch is evaluated for small business and security camera deployments that need reliable outdoor power and data over Ethernet. The bottom line: this is an uncomplicated, weatherproof, gigabit-capable PoE switch that delivers up to 120W total and supports IEEE 802.3af/at so eight devices can receive up to 30W per port; it is best for users who want a simple plug-and-play solution with a built-in power supply and no configuration.

Key Features

• 8 Gigabit PoE Ports: Eight full gigabit Ethernet ports let you connect multiple IP cameras or access points without sacrificing throughput.
• High PoE Power: The built-in power supply provides up to 120W total so devices that need more power can be supported across the ports.
• 802.3af/at Support: Standards-based PoE detection ensures compatibility with 802.3af and 802.3at devices while protecting non-PoE devices from being damaged.
• Outdoor Weatherproof Housing: Industrial ABS polymer enclosure with protected cable and power interfaces makes the switch suitable for exposed outdoor or harsh indoor locations.
• Unmanaged Plug and Play: No configuration is required; the unit auto-detects PoE devices and provides data to non-PoE devices, simplifying deployment.
• Flexible Power Connection: The built-in power cord and plug can be connected to a waterproof outlet or cut and hardwired to a local circuit for flexible installation.

Who It's For

This switch is aimed at installers and small business owners who need to power multiple PoE cameras or wireless APs outdoors without running separate power. It is especially useful where a compact, fanless, and weatherproof device is preferred to reduce maintenance in parks, perimeters, garages, or rooftop sites.

It is not for network managers who need Layer 2/3 management, VLAN segmentation, or PoE scheduling; those users should look for a managed switch with administrative features. Also, it does not support passive 24V PoE, so ensure your devices comply with 802.3af/at before purchase.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Reliable gigabit performance on all eight ports makes it suitable for high-bandwidth devices like IP cameras and APs.
• Solid 120W total PoE budget with up to 30W per port supports a mix of 802.3af and 802.3at devices.
• Weatherproof, fanless design reduces service needs and fits outdoor installations where noise or dust are concerns.
• Plug-and-play simplicity allows quick installs without network configuration knowledge.

Cons

• Lacks advanced managed features such as VLANs, QoS configuration, or SNMP monitoring for larger enterprise environments.
• Does not support passive 24V PoE, so some legacy or proprietary devices may be incompatible.

Our Verdict

The MokerLink 8 Port Outdoor Gigabit PoE Switch is a practical, good-value choice for small-scale outdoor PoE deployments where simplicity, weatherproofing, and gigabit ports matter more than advanced management. Installers who need a compact, plug-and-play unit with solid PoE budget will appreciate its reliability, though network teams needing managed features should opt for a different model.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this switch support passive 24V PoE?
No, it supports IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at only and will not power passive 24V PoE devices.

Can it be installed outdoors without extra enclosures?
Yes, the industrial ABS weatherproof housing and protected interfaces are designed for outdoor use when mounted to a wall or pole and connected to a suitable waterproof power source.

Is any network configuration required?
No, it is an unmanaged plug-and-play switch that auto-detects PoE devices and provides data to non-PoE devices with no setup needed.
