Real HD 8 Port 2.5G Ethernet Switch Unmanaged Network Switch with 8 x 2.5 Gigabit | 1 x 10G SFP+ | Work with 10-100-1000Mbps Devices | 60G Bandwidth | Plug & Play | Fanless Quiet Metal Internet Switch

Works excellent. Fast, Future Proof, Plenty of Connections. Used as secondary Switch for an AT&T Fiber Router. Great Value. I highly recommend, as I expect this item to be a good backbone for the Ethernet parts of my system for a long while. No noise and barely gets Warm. Plug and Play. Shaped right and ports are in correct locations. This is a very fast QoeS switch.

High quality equipment.

Over the last few months, we have been swapping out our old CCTV cameras with modern POE digital cameras. The first thing you need is a good POE switch. One of my concerns was if the switch would support my existing cameras. The PSW16-2L had no problem supporting all nine of my current cameras even though they are four different models from three different manufacturers. The unit is very flexible in its POE support but it’s a good idea to check the standard supported by the device you’re hooking up to the switch. Some of the older POE devices do not comply with modern standards. The PSW16-2L will support up to 16 cameras as long as their total power usage does not exceed 300 watts. There is nothing to tell you how much power you are using so it’s a good idea to look at the specs for each device you hook up and keep track of it. It’s a nice looking, well-made unit with a steel case. It includes rack mounting brackets but does not have rubber feet for shelf use. The power supply has no fan, so the unit is silent. One interesting feature supported by the unit is VLAN mode. When you run cables to cameras mounted outside, you run the risk of someone hooking up to the camera cable and getting access to your network. In VLAN mode traffic on a port will only go to the uplink port and not to the other devices on the switch. It’s not a care for the problem but it can help. I do not recommend mixing POE and non-POE devices on the same switch. I know this unit will support it but it can also cause some hard to find problems. Overall, it’s a very nice unit for running things like cameras at a reasonable price and so far I’m very happy with it.

I’ve been using this industrial PoE switch for a few weeks now in my home lab, and I’m thoroughly impressed with its performance and build quality. The switch is equipped with 8 Gigabit PoE ports and 2 uplink ports, which has been more than enough to power and connect all of my devices without any issues. The auto-negotiation feature makes setup a breeze—just plug it in, and it works right out of the box with no need for complex configuration. The build is top-notch. The aluminum alloy housing feels solid, and it has an IP30 protection rating, which makes it feel durable and ready for harsh environments. I also really appreciate the wide temperature range it supports, as I plan to use it for outdoor monitoring setups, and I know it will perform well even in extreme temperatures. What’s especially great is the industrial-grade power supply, which includes short circuit, over-voltage, and overload protection. It gives me peace of mind knowing that my equipment is protected. Plus, the switch supports DIN-Rail installation, which makes mounting and removing it super simple. This switch is built for heavy-duty use, so whether you need it for a data center, factory, or even just a home lab setup like mine, it’s up to the task. The PoE functionality is perfect for powering devices like IP cameras and wireless access points, and everything runs smoothly with no hiccups. I’m also impressed with the tech support the seller offers. Knowing that I can reach out to them during business hours if anything goes wrong gives me extra confidence in this purchase. Overall, this is an excellent industrial-grade PoE switch that I highly recommend for anyone needing reliable Ethernet access in tough environments.

This thing is solid! I have a much smaller, lighter unit with fewer ports (8) and thought I would upgrade to this model. My current unit is located on a media board in the attic, so I was going to put this one there as well. The unit is rated at 300 watts and up to 50 degrees centigrade (122 F). Because of the heat generated by this 300 watt unit, I'm not sure my attic is an appropriate location. I'm concerned with this unit being "fanless". The POe switch vents at each side (see pic). The summer heat will determine if it stays there. This thing is rugged and heavy, probably three times the size and weight of my 8 port unit. Other than this unit using "natural" venting, everything about it is professional grade. Performance has been glitch free, no problems.
