10 Port Outdoor Weatherproof PoE Switch，8*Gigabit PoE Ports，2*SFP，IEEE802.3af/at Compliant，120W，AI Watchdog，All-in-One Box，Plug and Play

Had this for less than a year and half of the ports do not work anymore. Such a waste of money and a lot of frustration. I would spend a little more and get something better quality.

This 8 port POE switch is suitable for both interior and exterior use. The all plastic case has a rear flange for mounting to a pole or wall. If wall mounted, it will sit approximately an inch off the wall. The case is thin and relatively compact with sleek modern lines. There is a small panel of LEDs on the face that shows system status, which I found helpful.All cables enter through a bottom conduit port. It accepts AC power from 100 to 240 volts at 50 or 60 Hz. No power cable is provided. The unit does not have a ground connection, so only two wires are required for the power connection.The switch supports eight POE connections and two SFP uplinks. The listing is a bit confusing - it says 100 watts maximum in one place and 120 watts in another. The instructions that came in the box state a maximum power of 120 watts. If you are running 8 stationary POE security cameras and a single uplink this should be adequate. Pan and tilt and mechanical zoom cameras can draw significantly more power. Assuming the 120 watt maximum is across all the ports (both POE and SFP), it is important to calculate your total POE and SFP load to ensure it is under the power limits of the unit.The unit has two unpopulated SFP uplink ports, allowing you to select the appropriate adapter for your use. I have yet to install an SFP uplink adapter, so I cannot yet comment on that functionality. (My ideal configuration is an Gigabit RJ45 uplink and an SFP port, which saves having to buy an SFP-1GB-RJ45 adapter for the uplink - your needs may be different)The switch is passively cooled. The specifications that came in the box list a maximum operating temperature of just 40c (104°F ) which makes installation in an attic or in direct sunlight ill advised.The listing states a max temperature of 70c (158°F). I have no idea which is the proper number, for my use, I will go by the paperwork that came packaged with the unit.The case seems solid with reasonable weatherproofing. Setup is very simple, you provide power via the two push terminals, connects cameras using the 8 - RJ45 jacks, connect your uplink based on the adapter you select and it just works - there are no settings or software to mess with.I found these units very useful in simplifying security camera set-ups, as it allows clustering cameras in groups at each end of a building or site and connecting the groups to a central NVR via a single uplink cable, which saves a lot of cable and labor over having to run all the cameras cables to the NVR.In my use, the unit has performed as expected, with no issues. I can't yet speak to long-term durability, however, this seems to be well made with quality materials, so as long as we stay within the power and temperature limits, I don't anticipate any issues.I deducted a star for the confusing specifications.

tl;dr: If you know what this is, and need it, and are not concerned about adding a power cord, this thing is awesome. Just know what you're getting.This switch is obviously aimed at professional installers / network techs. It is packaged in a simple, clean, brown cardboard box, with no seals or shrinkwrap or marketing to get in the way as you install a bunch of 'em. It includes a token attempt at "instructions", but also includes a very useful sticker to mark the locations of the mounting screw holes, as well as two pipe clamps should you want to install it on a pole.Wire it up, plug it in, connect your ethernet devices, et voila, connections. Easy peasy.BUT, know what you're getting: You will have to supply and wire your own power cord. This is not a big deal. If you are concerned about it, or don't know what that means, you may want to look at a more consumer-oriented product. I'm not going to explain it here, as if someone is uncomfortable with that, a random Amazon reviewer like me shouldn't be their source of information!All that said, it does the job. But it's oddly huge, in an unhelpful way. I was hoping to tuck a SBC into open space in it, given how big it is, but the switch ports are just an few inches from the bottom, and it's thin, so there isn't really room. I was surprised by that. And the status lights are tiny and near the ports, so what's all that space on the top half for? I might (might) take it apart to see what's going on in all the space above the ports, but I wanted to install it and check it and review it before I broke it! If (if) I take it apart and if (if) I manage to get an rPi or similar in there, it'll be something of a kludgey hack, but I'll mention it in an update. It would be slick, though, if the manufacturer made the open space accessible for something like that... or designed another model with an enclosed / carefully vented area for additional hardware... or just made it smaller. Not going to deduct any "stars" though, for something like that.As it is, it's a slick, zero-nonsense solution to very specific problems -- in my case, adding POE security cameras without pulling a ton of cables, nor drilling new holes in walls -- if you need it, and know what it is, and know how to install a power cord... this should get the job done. I'll report back if it fails on me in any unexpected manner.Thanks for taking the time to read my review -- I hope it helped. Happy networking!

First off it doesn't come with a power supply so you will either have to hardwire an electrical line to it or find some specialty adapter for it. There is also the dubious "waterproof" claim. Looking things over I saw no evidence of any sort of waterproofing so I'm skeptical of that claim.You have two options for mounting: pole or wall mount & they only give you the tools for the pole mount so if you're doing wall then you'll have to find your own screws. Configuring this thing is a pain. Very limited functionality & there's two SFP uplink ports so you'll need to grab a proper transceiver if you intend to use RJ-45 uplink. The ethernet port numbers are confusingly ordered & depending on what mode you're in, some of them will be disabled. This device is definitely not recommended for residential hookups too unless you order every single thing you need beforehand.
