TRENDnet 8-Port 10/100Mbps PoE Switch, 4 x 10/100 Ports, 4 x 10/100 PoE Ports, 30W PoE Power Budget, 1.6 Gbps Switching Capacity, 802.3af, Lifetime Protection, Black, TPE-S44

My review title pretty much sums it up. Right now I'm using this to power two POE cameras that use 6.5w of power each. The TRENDnet switch will power up to four cameras, plus has four additional ports for other devices. Here's my current setup so you can get an idea based on what you're using:-Desktop computer running Windows 7 Home Premium-Linksys WRG54G2 router-TRENDnet 8 port POE switch-2 POE camerasSetup was super easy. I installed the switch and plugged it into my existing router. The Ethernet cables I ran for the two cameras came down to a wall jack, which I then ran patch cords from the wall to the powered ports on the switch. It was plug-n-play, everything came right up with no issues.It's been running 24-7 for almost a month now without a hiccup, so hopefully I'll continue to have good success with this switch and setup. Plans are to add two more cameras in the future.On a side note I'm using VitaminD software to monitor the cameras. I am mostly happy with it, with a few minor gripes but that's another review for another day.

I am powering an IP camera with this. This unit does exactly what I expected--has 4 PoE ports that seem to work, and 4 non-PoE ports for other network connections.This is an unmanaged switch, so there really is no need for directions. The PoE ports are clearly labeled as such. There are indicator lights on the front of it, so if you are placing it in a living area and the lights will bother you, then you may have a problem. I have been using it for about a week and there are no issues. I have several PC's and a printer hooked up to it as well.If you are considering a PoE switch, you probably know that the there are DC power limitations and the length of your network cables matters in terms of getting your PoE device to work over the wire, and also in terms of how much power gets wasted in the wire.For the price, I am happy with this unit.Update 09/10/2016:This unit is still going strong. I was just paging through my past reviews out of boredom and was surprised that I had owned this unit for so long. A lot of other electronics have come and gone in that time, but this thing still works great. Thanks, Trendnet!

I was in the market for a POE switch and wanted something I could daisy chain off of my current Gigabit infrastructure. This unit was incredibly tempting at the price so I picked one up. I couldn't be happier. This device really is plug an play as you would expect and works flawlessly on all devices I tested including Avaya VOIP phones, Cisco Phones and POE cameras.It only has 4 ports which is a bit limiting and I have no doubt I will be upgrading to one of the Netgears that Amazon sells due to extra ports and features but this is a great little unit for those with limited POE port needs.The only negative (reason for a star drop) is that there is no Gigabit support which is great for uplinking to your faster backbone.So, if you are in the market for a POE switch then you can do a lot worse than this device.

After researching many different PoE switches to power a group of Foscam cameras and other PoE devices on our home network, I finally went with the TRENDnet TPE-S44. I bought two of the switches, one for the home office area and one for the wiring closet where we have the panel feeding to the exterior cameras. At the camera end, I purchased LevelOne POS-1002 PoE Splitters to split the data and power signals to feed the cameras. After a couple days, one of the cameras (the third of three cameras plugged into the switch) became intermittent. Port three would no longer have three green LEDs but would have one red LED. Thinking the port might be bad, I switched the camera to port four only to have the problem reoccur the next day. Next, I swapped the switches between the home office and wiring closet to see if it was that particular switch that was defective. Again, after a day or so, the problem would reoccur. No matter which order the three cameras were plugged into the switch, it was always the last camera that was plugged in that would eventually fail to receive power as ports 1 and 2 never dropped power. I tried two other brands of PoE splitters at the other end to see if that resolved the problem to no avail. Finally, I bought a separate PoE injector to power the third camera, now plugging that into one of the non-PoE ports (ports 5-8) of the switch. Overall the switch works great but it does not appear to have enough power to reliably power all of the devices I needed it to.

I bought this to use with a Foscam FI8910e IP camera I recently purchased. I considered a more expensive Netgear unit but at $50 it was about a third of the price of the Netgear. Only real difference is it's lack of gigabit speed, but for my need, that wasn't a deal killer. Happily, I was able to attach it to my router and camera and it worked flawlessly. It is small and seems well constructed, but best of all is the relatively low price tag. I do recommend this unit for similar applications.

We were installing an Allworx VoIP phone system for client, and they needed a POE switch to avoid using an external power supply. This is bare bone switch, unmanaged, no VLAN, QoS, etc.... In our application, this was a remote location with just 2 phones, so this will do the trick. Priced right also. The Allworx require 6.7watts per port, and this POE switch works fine. Be sure to check you device for POE consumption before purchasing. If you need a 24 port POE switch, layer 2, POE, VLAN, QoS, etc... Then look at ADTRAN 1234 POE switch...Very good switch...

A la base, je suis plutôt Netgear mais celui ci m'a attiré par son tarif canon (35€).Et franchement, je ne suis pas déçu.1. Il est très bien fini, rien à dire. Les connecteurs sont en plastiques mais c'est de bonne qualité.2. Il est très compact, il ne prend pas une place folle.3. Je l'utilise avec du matériel POE, c'est parfait, aucun soucis. Et 4 ports poe à ce tarif, c'est introuvable ailleurs.4. il est fanless ! il ne fait aucun bruit !Il n'est pas manageable, c'est parfait, c'est simple et efficace !Un seul petit reproche, il n'y a rien de prévu pour le fixer sur un mur (fixation murale ou équivalent). Rien de méchant mais la concurrence le propose, mais fait payer le double.

semplicemente favoloso apri la confezione, attacchi la spina, la spia si accende e tutto funziona perfettamentee piccolo e robusto pure bello lo consiglio ricevuto come sempre prima della data di consegna

Proporciona POE para teléfonos VOIP u otros dispositivos con poe como productos Ubiquiti, switches etc...

aucun probleme, fonctionne directement et stable , je recommande - le transfo est fourni ce qui n'est pas le cas pour tous les switchs poe vendus ici - prix correct par rapport aux autres modeles et marques

Pas de configuration à faire, pas de soucis. Je me sers pour un petit réseau local comprenant notamment une caméra en PoE. Tout marche bien, il n'y a rien à dire. Néanmoins, pour quelques euros de plus j'aurais dû prendre un switch gigabits, cela m'aurait permis de monter en débit avec des applis plus gourmandes.
