This POE switch is more have industrial use than normal household in mind, it is designed with using railed power supply. Although it includes a power supply adapter for regular power outlet, there are power connectors exposed outside the case. Something to be aware of.

It has for POE ports that supply higher wattage output of 802.3bt standard and four POE for 802.3 af/at. There are two SFP ports for none POE uplinks. While SFP ports may be popular in data centers, I don't see the logic to have both none POE ports are SFP instead on at least one using regular RJ45 port. It forces user using the SFP to buy an additional SFP to RJ45 adapter in order to connect this switch with their network.

While I have no issue using this switch directly with POE devices using up to 24W of power, I ran into problem using a 802.3bt compatible POE extender, and the main reason for me to get this switch in the first place.

While I don't have any POE devices require high wattage output of bt, I do have a number of POE devices that require up to 24W at peak use. While normal bt switches can support these devices without problem, I was hoping to simplify the cable routing by using one cable to a cluster of devices and then use an extender to connect them. This requires a switch and an extender to support the bt high wattage output between them in order to have sufficient for the extender to support those devices.

Well, as it turns out, my plan did not work. Not only the extender was not able to support multiple devices, but it was also not even able to support one 24W POE device, in other words the pair could not even handle 820.3at power level. Granted, this compatibility issue may not be this switch's fault. It could be the extender is the problem, so I move the extender to an 802.3at switch to test, and it was able to power up the 24W device without problem. It is clear that when 802.3 hand shack between this switch and the extender did not workout, this switch falls back not to 802.3at but to the even lower power output of 802.3af.

At the end, I was not able to archive what I has hoped with this switch.

In the age of IoT devices, my wireless network was getting crowded. I wanted to move some heavier traffic devices off of the wireless network by using a wired connection. I needed a network switch for my entertainment center and ordered this one. This network switch is more than what I need for my entertainment center. It has eight 1 gig ports that allowed me to wire my devices directly into my network. I wired my Shield, Nintendo Switch, and projector into the switch and was measuring 800+ MBs from each connection. The connections are more stable than they were when I was using WiFi. With Steam Link, I was able to reduce the input latency to less than 1 ms and the video latency to 12ms. This made games that I had trouble playing before playable.

I love that this has a DIN mount connection on the back. This makes it very easy to attach to my wall. The mount slides on and remains in place due to the spring clips. Additionally, this has a couple of features I've yet to take advantage of including the fact that it has 2 SFP ports. For my home use, this works exceptionally well.
