8 Port POE+ & 2 GbE Switch for UNDER $50?

It's rare when I find a product that advertises such a strong feature combination - 8 full gigabit ethernet POE+ ports with 120 watts of total power, 2 additional gigabit uplinks, an integrated power supply with no silly adapters to fiddle with, and an all-metal housing - all for UNDER $50? Yep!
POE is the workhorse of small and large businesses everywhere - your VOIP phones, video cameras, APs and more are all using it to simplify your wiring and provide power to remote installations safely.
This POE+ switch is tested to full delivery speeds and we plug three devices into it and use them simultaneously.

1y later I’m just seeing this; clicked the link (which does work) and this nifty little switch is going for a measly $25 rn! Thanks for the video and making me aware of this. One suggestion, tho… if you’re going to talk about a power budget, you should mention how much power each of those devices is using so people can get a feel for how many cameras/phones/etc. they can power with this switch. (Hint: Not too late to address that in the video description and/or as a reply to a comment.)

The $25 one is 100mbit not Gigabit. The gigabit one is 42.99 right now.

Thank you! I just bought it from your link. Hopefully it works for me 😎

[@TheNetGuy]

Using mine on my mission critical NAS and it’s been great!

[@drallersouldust3054]

every devices has different voltages does it step down the voltage for devices cause it seems that you're plugging in everything

[@TheNetGuy]

Poe is a standard and 48v is normal. If the device doesn’t use POE it won’t send the current. Some UniFi devices use low power 24v POE which it does not do - and is being phased out generally in the market.

Can you review some of their managed switch options?

Awesome review, thanks

Can this power ubiquiti litebeam ac gen2?

Well, that's annoying, the link in the description doesn't take me to the switch he is referencing in the video

You sure? Works for me. amzn.to/38Cj6K4

bought a 2.5 and gets hot

[@TheNetGuy]

This one? I’m using it with my MacBook and my QNAP storage and it’s working great.

[@drjuit]

@@TheNetGuy no I got a 2.5 5 port switch sodola and the base gets really hot, you should make a video of them

[@TheNetGuy]

Does that one have an integrated power supply or wall brick? My 8 port here is cool as a cucumber 🥒 so maybe something is up?

When you said "I'm going to uplink to my current switch" me being the network engineer minded person cringed a little... SPANNING TREE BROADCAST STORM OH NO!

[@TheNetGuy]

I realized after that the term “uplink” has a connotation and meaning 😉

No SFP+ ports = no buy

[@TheNetGuy]

Hard to say - SFP+ has a place but for simple POE and low cost gigabit switches it’s a seldom used extravagance.
