YuLinca12 Port Gigabit PoE Switch, 8 GE PoE+, 2 GE Uplink, 2 Gigabit SFP, IEEE802.3af/at Max 120W, Fanless Unmanaged Plug&Play Ethernet Switch

Exactly whar was required

The six Port PoE extender is a great device for extending networks over longer distances. It's ideal for CCTV cameras / security cameras and great for larger houses where wifi is weak and / or drops out a lot.Every type of cable / technology has it's maximum range and that is where extenders come into play. Without any extra power data over ethernet will weaken and eventually drop out over a short distance. However, longer cables are now available meaning one can reach much further with a network but the reliability of the data packets arriving at the other end is still limited. By using this PoE one can extend the network with a range of 250m before the signal starts to weaken. So, this can be used for both households and businesses alike.A small business with a number of buildings and one office can have a networked printer in the office, for admin staff to deal with. It could be a workshop needing to place an order for parts etc. Instead of running to the office or phoning they can now simply use the PC and send the order to the printer, where the admin staff will then process it. Logistically this PoE can save time and money for small businesses. It's also ideal for having a few security cameras connected to a PC / monitor.The Extender itself is well built to a good quality and with a "metal" case, not plastic. Metal casings have the advantage that they can disapate heat whereas plastic can't and the device ends up overheating and dying. The Ports themselves are strong and all terminals are gold plated for good connection and conductivity.I am recommending this PoE as it is a great problem solver where wifi is depneded on but is unreliable. It is good quality and is good value

my fault i should of noticed its only 100 Mbps ok otherwise

This is a great piece of kit which I've used for a few weeks now.It's a physically robust, well made unit, which is 'plug n' play' and unmanaged. (So plug it in, and it'll do the rest).I've tested the 6 port model (but I believe they come in other sizes too).Crucial to this, and the reason I think it's great value for money, is this supports high power output power over ethernet (PoE). Many PoE switches only support 802.3af/at (which provides 13W or 25W I think respectively). This is enough for many devices, but not necessarily if you want to run multiple further PoE powered devices down the line (eg. if you want to use this to power PoE switches, which in turn need to provide PoE outputs themselves). This will output 802.3bt (up to 60W, PoE++) which is a fantastic find in a unit around this price. (Many semi-professional switches with 802.3bt support will retail for £200+).So far this seems to work well. I have had no issues with setup or use in recent weeks.At this price, very happy to recommend.

The build quality on this is really good, ports are nice and tight, and the ventilation is good, the unit is wall mountable. Setup is super easy; it is an unmanaged switch so no need to have to have a great understanding of networking to get things up and running, it is more or less plug and play. Using a network switch makes my set up so much easier, I run two cameras, one at the front and one at the rear of the house, I have no power sockets near them, so POE makes it so much easier and allows a good connection to view. I have plugged a wireless AP in, it has really increased network connection upstairs. At the moment I do not have need for the SFP connectivity but that might change once I set up my workshop at the bottom of our long garden. Connection has been steady with no dropouts and the unit is nice and cool. I am now on the lookout for a decent network drive to finish off my set up.

This is a six port Gigabit PoE switch, selectable for four port VLANS, all ports unmanaged, or one port extendable up to 250 metres via an SFP (not provided). Five of the ports are RJ45. The switch is self-powered with a mains voltage internal PSU. The maximum PoE port output is 30 watts (maximum total 65 watts) and a maximum total switching capacity of 12Gbps. It's enclosed in a robust metal case that has slots for wall mounting.I use a small unmanged switch to connect entertainment devices to the Internet and, a Netgear S8000 managed switch for the home network, with each device on a separate VLAN. I nearly ignored this switch as it's described as unmanaged, but once I read that it could be used as four separate 1GbE PoE VLANS, I had to try it. I have a CISCO Business PoE wireless access point, and that connected without a problem on one of the four VLANs. The YuLinca PoE switch is destined to permanently power the CISCO wireless access point or, a security camera.

This is a switch designed for powering PoE devices - it has 4 Gigabit ports which support PoE output, and an uplink port to connect to the rest of the network. There is also something called an SFP port, and in spite of many years setting up home networks, I'd never even heard of that, and had to look it up! It is designed to accept different modular plugs so fibre connections can be used in addition to standard RJ-45 terminations, but out of the box it has nothing in it, so can't be connected to anything without adding a suitable SFP module.Therefore, this is really a 5 port switch, not a 6 port one. But it feels well-built and the fact that it runs directly off the mains rather than via an adapter suggests that the PoE implementation is good and should be able to supply the relevant amounts of power.One star off for the (mostly useless in small home network) SFP connection, but fine otherwise.

Sentiment apart,  this is a well-built POE that js affordable.  It is well designed and very sturdy.The switch  are well designed and brilliant.Considering the case, having the case designed with metal materials makes it just as good  as you can name it making it comparable with other big brands product.This is a good choice for both domestic and small office usage as this gives you a reliable transmission.I will say this is brilliant product that will serve you well for the purpose designed for.

It is exactly what says. Works exactly as expected.

If you need just basic 2.5GBit unmanaged connectivity for cheap, this does a great job.

Well manufactured, easy to use (as it should be) and powerfull. Plenty of ports

I watched a few videos on You Tube about 2.5 gig switches and I decided to bite the bullet and purchase one. I saw this as I was looking on not spending a lot of money. This one works great and it really is fast!! A good deal and I will end up getting another one really soon. Good product so far and it's fast!! I love things when they are fast!!

My main switch has 4 SFP+ ports, tree being used by servers, so the free one is now connected to this switch, so I can enjoy 2.5G on my PC.Works perfectly at 2.5G, and to my slow 100 and 10 mbits printer/IP phones.The uplinks work as 10G, I am close, so instead of using a fiber SFP+ module, I use a direct attach cable (DAC), mine are from Dell, works perfectly between my D-Link and this YuLinca switch, some switch may be picky on the cable brand.
