PoE Switch with 16 PoE Ports + 2 Gigabit Uplink - 240W PoE+ for IP

Our review finds this PoE switch is aimed at small CCTV and network installs that need reliable power distribution without complicated setup. The unit's single biggest selling point is the integrated 240W power budget across 16 100Mbps PoE ports plus two gigabit uplink ports, which makes it a simple plug-and-play choice for dozens of PoE cameras or other edge devices. Installation is straightforward, the fanless metal housing runs quietly, and built-in intelligence prevents non-PoE devices from being driven with power.

Key Features

• 16 PoE ports: Provides up to 30W per port so most 802.3af/at cameras and access points receive sufficient power without extra injectors.
• 240W built-in power: The integrated supply removes the need for external power bricks and supports multiple devices from a single enclosure.
• 2 gigabit uplinks: Two 1000M uplink ports allow direct connection to an NVR or the main network backbone for higher throughput where needed.
• AI PD Detection: Ports intelligently detect PoE devices and avoid supplying power to non-PoE equipment, protecting connected gear.
• 250m extend mode: An extension option increases wired distance up to 250 meters, useful for remote cameras where power is unavailable.
• 4KV lightning protection: Two-stage surge protection helps protect the network and cameras from cable-borne lightning events.

Who It's For

This switch is best suited for installers, small business IT staff, and homeowners deploying multi-camera surveillance systems who want a straightforward, unmanaged solution with a strong PoE budget. It is also convenient for small networks that rely on multiple PoE devices such as access points and VoIP phones where centralized power simplifies cabling.

Those who need managed features like VLANs, QoS controls, or long-term enterprise warranties should look elsewhere. Also, buyers who require 1Gb full switching across all client ports should consider a gigabit-per-port model instead of this 100Mbps-per-PoE-port unit.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Generous 240W total PoE budget supports multiple mid-power cameras without separate injectors.
• Fanless metal design runs quietly and suits indoor installs where noise is a concern.
• AI PD Detection and short-circuit protections reduce risk of damaging non-PoE devices and help with stability.
• 250m extend capability simplifies powering remote cameras where local power is unavailable.

Cons

• Durability concerns reported by some users with units failing within the first month, so expect to test promptly.
• All PoE ports are 100Mbps which may limit future bandwidth for high-resolution camera setups.

Specifications

Our Verdict

The switch is a pragmatic, value-oriented choice for camera-centric deployments that need a high PoE budget and easy setup. Its built-in 240W supply, intelligent PD detection, and extend mode give installers flexibility, though the 100Mbps per PoE port and occasional reliability reports mean buyers should validate operation on arrival. For small to mid-size surveillance systems it offers strong value when managed features and full gigabit PoE per port are not required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can non-PoE devices be connected?
Yes, non-PoE devices can be connected for data only; the switch will not supply power to devices that are not detected as PoE.

How far can the extend mode reach?
The extend function increases transmission distance up to 250 meters for both power and data when enabled.

Is the power supply internal?
Yes, the switch uses a built-in power supply that delivers the 240W PoE budget without external power injectors.
