MS108GP 8-Port Gigabit Desktop PoE Switch with 7-Port PoE+, 250m Long Range Ethernet Splitter Extender, Compatible with 802.3af/at PDs, up to 65W, Power Management, Isolation Mode, Metal Case

This is literally plug and play, it connects very easily and has various options for both the distance you can send the current but at the detriment of mb/s data transfer speed. It looks tidy on top of my nvr and supplies my cameras with the power they need and the data transfer speed for the images is very fast so there’s no glitchyness or poor picture quality. Excellent value and manages my cameras needs perfectly

Just before Christmas, I decided to re-jig our network, splitting it in two, moving some of the local only traffic onto another subnet, with its own router. As part of this reorganisation, I realised that we required an additional PoE switch, so let my fingers walk across the keyboard. I found a few switches within the budget I had set, this on from Mercusys was one of them, along with the usual suspects including TP-Link. I like TP-Link, their warranty is excellent, there was a 5 port TP-Link (4 PoE ports) which was £1 more expensive than this Mercusys one, which has 8 ports (7 PoE ports). I'd seen quite a bit of Mercusys equipment popping up whilst searching for equipment, though never purchased one, until I ordered this one. I have to say; I am really pleased with this PoE switch, though the icing on the cake was a sticker saying Mercusys is a TP-Link brand, I suppose in the same way as Kasa and Tapo. Have been using this switch for a couple of weeks, it has been flawless performance wise. When I purchased this switch, it was £25.99 which I consider this to be a bargain, when you know it is a TP-Link brand. For me, it is a definite 5 star recommendation.

I'm not technical at all but I have 3 unifi access points installed throughout my house and the power units that come with them are unsightly and require a power socket each. This one sends the power through the ethernet cable and all access points work. Simple as that and it does it's job for me.

Saved me using another power adapter for router and other ports used as normal switch. Have non poe tplink external camera unused because of hassle of wiring,so might try with poe splitter as camera external location can be mirroring internal location of this switch

This was well priced and as usual delivered quickly by Amazon. There is a very slight delay when connecting of a few seconds , but this could be the appliance as opposed to the switch, once connected the speed is fast and smooth. The switch is compact and has an option button for the outlets not to talk to one another if you wanted separate traffic to the internet. The switch also has two priority ports for items such as cameras ( I have a Tv in one of these). I wish I bought one years ago, just plug and play , would recommend

Superb value for money. Mercusys is a sub-brand of TP-Link. Most brands seem to charge an excessive amount if you want (or need) a POE switch and are often around double the amount of this little beastie. Obviously I'd prefer a higher POE budget, but let's be real - it's an exceptionally inexpensive POE switch with a more than adequate 65w POE budget. Yes, it's in a plastic case, and yes, I'd prefer a metal chassis, but that's not going to happen any time soon at this price point. If you need a 7 port switch (POE or not), do yourself a favour and just buy this one. Even if you don't need POE now, you could well in the future and at this price point it seems a bit daft to buy anything else. It's literally plug and play - just use halfway decent patch cables.

bought to replace a 5 port switch of the same make as I stupidly thought 5 ports would be enough. had no hesitation buying Mercusys again as the 5 port was fantastic and ran rock solid for months without issue. the unit feels solid, power supply feels like its built well and it works out of the box with no configuration required. POE requirement is auto detected, literally nothing to config, just plug it in and forget about it. no hesitation recommending this brand.

I bought this to power by ring doorbell camera and have the option later to connect more PoE equipment if needed. works very well and is cheap gigabit switch.

Danke!
