Plug and go
Excellent network switch.
Pros:
-Totally silent, no fan that keeps going
-small
-plug and go-
Cons: only a few ports, but that is what are buying.
I have a PoE cctv camera and a NAD and a few other bits and pieces hanging off this. When you switch it on and connect the Ethernet cables it connects straightaway and I can see the camera image and recordings via the NAS and there is no interference with the rest of the home network. Excellent product.
Outstanding hub for running POE cameras
Bought this to run 5x external & 3x internal Hikvision POE cameras, including two with floodlights and one PTZ. We also have two Ubiquity Access Points on the first & second floors.
I wanted the switch up on the third floor, but the NVR in my study on the ground floor.
Install was a breeze; literally plug’n’play, and the fanless unit sits silently, doing it’s thing.
We ran Cat6 throughout the property when we renovated, connecting each room to a central cabinet in my study, plus shielded/weatherproof Cat6 to the locations we wanted external cameras. Our longest run between Camera & Switch is approximately 85m and from Switch back to Router/NVR is roughly 70m – there’s been absolutely zero degradation in signal quality and all 9 cameras run at full resolution, the floodlight cameras light up exactly as they should and other than a minimal lag to access the PTZ camera, plus one or two Access Point reboots (which I put down to Virgin, rather than any fault in the POE switch), we’ve had very little to worry about.
More than happy to recommend.
Good switch to consider if you want an SFP po
I chose this switch as it seemed to offer good value for a device that also had an SFP port which enabled me to use a fibre optic link. I did make the mistake of choosing the wrong type of SFP transponder initially – make sure it’s 1 GB/s not 10! Now everything has been working well for a month or so. Hopefully it will stay this way.
Working well
I have had this YuanLey 8-port PoE switch installed for about 3 weeks now. It is connected to four Hikvision 8mp (4k) IP cameras, a Zyxel wifi (PoE powered) access point and a Netgear 105PE (PoE powered) switch connected about 75m distant. Since installation this YuanLey switch has worked perfectly. The case is of all metal construction with wall mounting cut-outs. Mine is mounted vertically on a wall. It has an IEC socket (kettle lead) on back for mains power (so much better than an external wall wart).
Importantly, there is no partitioning of network traffic to an uplink port (unlike some PoE switched do). All ports are equal.
The one thing I don’t like is that the port status lights (which show the current port speed) are below the RJ45 connector so in my configuration with the switch mounted vertically on a wall, the port lights are difficult to see unless the cables are lifted out of the way – see one of my pics. But this is a very minor annoyance.
A very good product at a reasonable price. Pleased with my purchase and would definitely buy again!
Great customer service!
Had a small issue with an electrical whine, otherwise the switch works exactly as described powering two Ruckus AP’s around my house and a number of other units.
I contacted Yuanley Support about the noise and they promptly offered to refund me for a replacement unit. Would recommend!
Worked perfectly - Plug and Play but some non-POE devices would not work with i
I bought this to give POE capability to a Belkin adapter which provides wired ethernet for my I pad Pro. This gives battery charging power over the single ethernet cable. It worked perfectly. I did find that some other devices (printers mainly) plugged into the spare switch ports did not work but I think this is a common occurrence as some non-POE devices do not work well with POE switches. I got round this by linking my existing switch (not POE) via the Uplink Port and plugging devices which did not like the POE hub into the old hub. Whole system now works perfectly.
Great switches when you get a good one
I like these Yuanley switches (when they work)
This 5 port one had a dead port so I’ve got to order another and return this one. Hope the next one is ok. I also ordered an 8 port which tripped the house fuse when switches on. Turns out the 13amp
Plug had the neutral and earth reversed. How bad is that? They refunded me 12 so I could buy a new one. I cut the plug off and fitted a Screwfix one. Sorted.
Amazing product at an amazing price
This is a perfect at a very reasonable price. Its plug n play. Fanless so its quite. Works perfect with my POE cameras on my home network. Customer service is amazing at answering queries
Excellent Quality and First Class customer suppo
Found this Poe switch whilst researching for my new cctv install. Brilliant quality and price. I had a small issue at first but contacted customer support who were great. Answered my questions promptly and i felt confident they would solve any issue to the very end. Excellent on all fronts, will be buying again for my next project.
Very prompt delivery, works as expected
Ordered on Firday morning and received on Saturday afternoon (without Prime) – was really impressed with speed.
Connected 4 PoE cameras, uplink and Wi-Fi accesspoint – all works without any issues.
Great value PoE gigabit switch
I use it to run a Raspberry Pi cluster with PoE enabled so I have fewer wires running around. Works just like it should. If you’re very close you can hear a quiet buzzing sound from the PSU but I’d call it silent. Nice not to have a big power brick. I’ll probably upgrade to their 8 port model next.
Good quality PoE switch
Really very good quality PoE switch.
– compact
– light weight
– good quality
– extremely easy to use ( just plug and play )
This helped me to organise my all cable stuff and works perfectly.
Because my cameras are far away from my main switch I had to use intermediary switches in order to deliver data and power to each cameras. I am using this switch to power 1 POE camera and to transmit data to other POE switch.
Until now it works very well, and all my cameras are transmitting the stream flawless.
In my first week I monitored the connections to cameras checking the pings response time, and I was surprised how stable it was, with average ping response around 18ms from main switch to the cameras, without any high peaks. It is very good considering that some cameras data is passing via 3 switches.
It is fan less, so no noise coming from the switch.
In the idle it consume around 3 watts and when I have 1 camera attached it consume around 10 watts.
The build construction looks very sturdy, solid metal. The metal build also help on heat dissipation.
There is no power ON/OFF button, just plug in the power cord to power it on.
I am not using it extended mode, so I cannot tell how the port isolation feature works.
For my needs it is a very good device that worth 40 bucks price.
Works great. No fuss.
Works great. I use it to do configuration and testing on IP cameras as it connects to the main switch and acts as a standalone injector.
Metal case, sturdy construction. UK plug.
Highly recommended.
Introduction:
I have been running one of these Yuanley 8-Port Gigabit PoE Switch in my live network environment for the past 15 months now, and I can honestly say that this switch has become a vital part of my network, so much so, that I ordered a second one… This new 2019 unit has been updated from the previous model, in that it includes 19″ rackmount brackets and rubber feet.
Application:
This PoE switch was purchased to power a ceiling-mounted UniFi UAP-AC-Pro access point in the downstairs hallway, and I didn’t want to purchase a separate PoE injector to power it. A quick search on Amazon, and viola, an IEEE 802.3af/at compatible switch that isn’t bulky or heavy, that provides 120w max power with all ports (yes, including all 8 PoE ports) having gigabit capability… The switch also has a ground screw at the rear, which allows me to ground the chassis, to reduce interference and increase safety.
At the time of purchasing, this was the only highly-rated gigabit PoE switch in the pre-100 price range.
Switch:
As previously mentioned, the switch isn’t bulky, heavy, or takes up too much space inside of a network cabinet. Mine sits on a network shelf inside of a network cabinet, but it will also fit snugly in a 1u slot using the brackets provided. The case is made out of metal and has a ground screw on the back. There are 8 individual PoE ethernet ports on the front and 2 ethernet uplink ports with 1 SFP port, which can be used to connect the switch to other switches. In my network, both uplink ports are connected to my 24-port Netgear gigabit switch and my 16-port Dell gigabit switch. The switch also has VLAN capability.
There is basically no noise from the switch during operation, as it is fan-less, and I don’t notice any significant heat build up inside of my closed cabinet.
Company:
The switch is manufactured in China by a company called Yuanley. I’ve spoken to their customer services on more than one occasion, asking questions and general advice. They are extremely friendly and helpful, and will go out of their way to make sure that you have, not only a pleasant buying experience, but really good after-sales support.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, I’m really impressed by this switch. I think for the price, and what you get – essentially 8 PoE ports that transmit at full gigabit speeds – you can’t really go wrong with this purchase. As I’ve said, mine has been continuously running and transmitting data for 15 straight months, and has only needed to be rebooted just once during those 15 months. It happily powers my access point, and with dedicated uplink ports, I have the flexibility to use all of the PoE ports for any additional ethernet-powered devices I add to my network in the future.
Silent, powerful, works perfect.
Simple to get started, you just plug and play. Handles the traffic well, although I’ve only tested it out under normal home use. No real set up is required. The metal case feels tough as versatile, and it’s practically silent.
Great addition for extra ethernet ports on your router.
This item does exactly what it says on the box. Very happy. Sellers communication was excellent when I had any querys (albeit expect your replies in the early hours if you’re in the UK).
Don’t expect this to power your non PoE cameras, you will still need injectors and power spliters on your cat 6 (or whatever cable you use), this is something that I was disappointed about, however that’s down to my naivety of these systems. It does however work a treat on PoE enabled cameras. Delivery was next day.
Hope this review helps someone.
I ordered this 8 port poe switch for my 6 dahua ip cameras.Because its spec meets all of my requirements—total 120w watts,8×10/100Mbps POE ports and 2×10/100Mbps RJ45 uplink ports. All 1-8 POE ports comply with PoE+ standard, fanless(very quiet). Done one week stress test to verify that all components work well.
About the switch:
There are 2 components – the switch itself and a power cable(Power built-in).The switch is very compact and light.You can put two switches in 1u cabinet space. It is made in Shenzhen China.
About the ports:
There are 8 10/100Mpbs poe ports and 2 10/100mbps uplink ports. (most applications need an uplink port ,for example ,NVR,router), The maximum PoE output power of the whole switch is 120W, and the maximum PoE output power of a single port is 30W.
Hook up:
There is no on/off switch. Plugging the power supply in turns the switch on. I recommend doing this first, then connect the POE devices at a time. I did try plugging-in/unplugging the power supply with all POE devices connected. There was no problem.
Power consumption:
I connected 6 dahua cameras to the switch. At full load, with all cameras booting at the same time and infra on (they turn on during boot), cameras+switch used around 50w (kill-a-watt). With the infra off, cameras+switch used around 35w. For these reasons, I was not able to verify the 120w output claim.
Heat dissipation:
The switch was never even warm. The cameras did get HOT, but survived the test. The power brick was more of interest because it will be in a VERY HOT attic. It was normally warm. To stress test, I wrapped it in a towel and put all cameras in a dark room to triggered the infra. In a few hours, the brick got quite hot, but not bad. Left it that way for a day. Conclusion is that it should survive my attic.
In all, I’m very satisfied with this brand poe switch.
POE Plus Switch for mulitiple IP PTZ Cameras
The 8 Port POE Plus switch is Excellent value for money. We are powering 3 IP PTZ Cameras off it with no issues at all. We use the uplink Port to feed the input of a wireless link. We can control the 3 PTZ’s functions and see all 3 Camera images with no glitches. We will be buying these again in the future.
Good Value
So far it is feeding two POE CCTV cameras and one RJ45 outlet in my daughters room. Looks a solid well made item and has worked perfectly so far with plenty of scope to expand my CCTV system and ethernet network. Good value, good feedback from the manufacturers and overall very pleased with it.
10 Ports Fast Ethernet PoE+ Switch 8 Ports POE|2 Ports Uplink
I have been looking to expand my old analogue CCTV system with IP cameras and needed a simple and easy way to power them, as some of the locations would be awkward to run a new mains socket and the YuanLey 10 port PoE+ switch is the perfect solution to my problem.
The switch has a nice metal construction with 8 x 10/100 Mbps PoE ports and 2 x uplink ports on the front, along with the status indicator lights and a switch to extend the transmission range of the connected cameras from 100 meters to 250 meters.
The rear of the unit is where the mains adapter is plugged in and also features a grounding point, so that the unit can be grounded inside your cabinet (if that is where you are placing it).
Either side of the device are mounting points for the hanging brackets which can be screwed into place and the bracket can be mounted either vertically or horizontally.
Each port outputs 52v at 1.5A and has a max output of 30W.
The dimensions of the switch are approximately 20cm x 12cm x 4.5cm.

***** Installation / Usage *****
The YuanLey switch works in exactly the same way as other switches and requires no configuration on your part.
You simply connect your devices to the PoE ports, connect the switch to your existing network via an uplink port and connect it to the mains.
***** Conclusion *****
Currently, I only have 1 PoE IP camera but intend to add more.
Being able to power the cameras using a single Ethernet cable is a huge advantage and makes installation far easier. I have my switch mounted in my attic so only needed to run a single Ethernet cable between my router and the switch and then a single Ethernet cable between the switch and the camera.
It is also possible to power non PoE enabled cameras using the YuanLey switch, by using a spliiter — you will need to make sure the splitter is capable of reducing the voltage from 52v to 12v, which is usually used by non PoE cameras or you will damage them.
I also like having just a single power source as it helps to keep the installation nice and neat.
All in all, I am quite pleased with the build quality and the value for money is very good. Having 8 ports means I have enough room for expansion in the future.
