PoE to USB C Switch 60W 802.3af/at Compliant - 30W USB-C PD + PoE

Our review of the PoE to USB C Switch 60W finds it best suited for small offices, remote camera or access point installs, and users who need a compact way to deliver both power and data to mixed devices. The single biggest reason to buy is its combination of a 30W USB-C Power Delivery port with Gigabit data and a dedicated PoE+ port, all from a plug and play, fanless unit with a 60W total power budget that simplifies deployment without extra injectors.

Key Features

• 60W Total Power Budget: Provides enough combined power to run a USB-C laptop or tablet while also powering a PoE device such as an IP camera or Wi-Fi access point.
• 30W USB-C PD Port: Delivers fast charging and full Gigabit Ethernet data for a laptop, tablet, or phone so a single connection handles power and network traffic.
• 802.3at/af Compliant PoE Port: Supplies up to 30W over PoE+ to compatible cameras and access points while carrying Gigabit data on the same link.
• Separate Ethernet Port: Offers a non-PoE Ethernet connection for printers, NAS, or VoIP devices without passing power to the endpoint.
• Fanless, Compact Design: Quiet operation and a small footprint (about 116 x 71 mm) fit tight spaces and noise sensitive rooms like bedrooms or meeting areas.
• DC Powered with Energy Efficient Supply: Uses a multi-stage energy efficient power input and ventilation holes for stable long term operation in various environments.

Who It's For

This switch is ideal for home offices, small businesses, and field installations where running separate power lines is inconvenient. It suits IT pros who need a compact PoE solution to power a camera and charge a laptop simultaneously, or installers who want a plug and play device that reduces cabling complexity.

It is not aimed at large enterprise networks that require many POE ports or managed switching features; those customers should look for a managed PoE switch with higher port counts and advanced VLAN or QoS controls.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Combines a 30W USB-C PD charging port and PoE+ port with Gigabit data, reducing the need for separate injectors.
• Fanless and compact, allowing quiet placement in meeting rooms or bedrooms without generating noise.
• Simple plug and play operation with universal compatibility for cameras, tablets, laptops, and access points.
• Energy efficient DC power design with ventilation holes for reliable long term use.

Cons

• Limited to a 60W total budget, so multiple high-draw devices may exceed available power simultaneously.
• DC powered version requires an appropriate external DC supply and does not replace a full managed switch for complex networks.

Our Verdict

The PoE to USB C Switch 60W is a practical, value-oriented device for small setups that need combined USB-C PD charging and PoE in a compact, quiet package. It is especially useful for installers and remote workers who want fewer power adapters and a simple plug and play arrangement, though larger deployments will need switches with more ports and management features.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the USB-C port charge a laptop?
The USB-C port supports up to 30W Power Delivery, which will fast charge many tablets and smaller laptops but may be insufficient for high-power gaming or workstation laptops.

Does the PoE port follow standard PoE power levels?
Yes, the PoE port complies with IEEE 802.3at/af and can supply up to 30W to compatible devices like cameras and access points.

Is the unit noisy when running?
The design is fanless and intended for silent operation, making it suitable for noise sensitive environments like meeting rooms or bedrooms.
