Great product, great price and speedy delivery

I redid the network in my house and used this switch. I left plenty of room for more drops. The POE's power my cameras that I have for my security system. I previously had a 5 port switch and needed more. I picked this one because it gives me plenty of room for expansion. I have 7 ports out of the 16 in use at the moment. Overall super happy with the way it turned out.

NVR is easy to install, plug and play. Rj45 patch/short cable from NVR to one side of POE switch, other end of same poe port across same cable to camera. Walla, Camera powered and sending signal to NVR and NVR can do whatever functions the camera can give. It is a pass through port powering up the camera from it to NVR. Yes I recommend this Item.

After moving my router to a more central location in the house, I found that my old 8-port, PoE switch, located in the attic, had one port that wasn't working. Switching port connections didn't help. A little on-line research showed that the switch was rated functional down to 10 degrees F. Temps in my attic occasionally reach minus 20, but as mentioned, the switch had worked well for 10 yrs +. Searching for a switch rated to 20 below meant spending BIG bucks for a military grade unit.I bought this unit, drilled a 2" diameter hole in the ceiling of the closet of my office, stuffed all the cables through a 2" grommet, and stuffed cotton balls in the excess space. I caulked around the top in the attic and replaced about 10" of insulation atop it. The unit's power cable was stuffed up through the grommet and was long enough to reach a standard electrical outlet in the attic.Mounting the unit on a wall below the grommet was simple. It's silent, but I may have paid more for it than needed due to my ignorance of what was needed. It has switches for various configurations - I left those in default position. All is working well. All cables connectivity is good. Compared to the old, basic switch I replaced, build quality seems to be excellent.Based on the description of this switch, it may be more appropriate for a small business application. At this time, I'm connecting 8 surveillance cameras, but plan on adding one or two more, and wanted extra ports for that.As mentioned, it's a bit pricier than I may have needed, but I now have a fully functional switch, and the project to replace is over.

As an IT professional, I like TP-Link switches for their value. I've never seen a failure (to be fair, I've seen maybe 3 switch failures out of thousands), and I expect this to serve my client well for the lifetime of the business.

Does the job

I like having a small enterprise-type network at my house. As I'm a network admin at work. Having items separate (firewall/router/switches/WiFi) is better than those junk all-in-one units.This switch works great at powering all my IP cameras and WiFi access points.
