⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ James Peterson - IT Manager, TechFlow Solutions
"We’ve been using the Factory High Quality 8Ports POE Switch (Base Model) in our 12-person office for over six months now, and it’s been rock solid. The metal housing keeps it cool even when stacked with other gear, and the LED indicators have saved us countless troubleshooting calls—just glance and you know which port is acting up. We run six IP cameras and two VoIP phones off it, all powered seamlessly over Ethernet. No extra power strips, no clutter. Exactly what we needed for a clean, professional setup."Purchase Date: May 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Linda Chavez - Homeowner, Smart Home DIYer
"I installed this POE switch to power my four outdoor 4K IP cameras and a Wi-Fi access point. Setup was plug-and-play—no configuration headaches. The reverse power supply is a game-changer; I only needed one outlet for the entire system. I love that the compact metal design fits neatly in my closet without overheating, even after continuous use. The LED lights give me peace of mind that everything’s online. For a DIYer like me, this is as good as it gets."Purchase Date: February 2025 | Usage Period: 3 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Marcus Reed - Owner, UrbanEdge Boutique
"I replaced our old plastic POE switch after it failed during peak season. This metal 8-port model has been a huge upgrade. We run eight surveillance cameras across two floors, and the 120W power budget handles them all without a hitch. The 100-meter PoE reach let us place cameras in remote corners without worrying about power. Only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is that I wish the base model had web-based management—but for the price, it’s hard to complain. Solid, reliable, and built to last."Purchase Date: November 2024 | Usage Period: 5 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Elena Vasquez - Security Systems Technician
"I’ve deployed over 30 of these switches in warehouses and small factories. The aluminum casing really does make a difference—zero overheating issues even in 24/7 environments with poor ventilation. Compared to plastic switches, this one dissipates heat noticeably better. The IEEE 802.3af/at compliance ensures compatibility with nearly every camera we install. And the two SFP ports? A rare bonus at this price, letting us uplink to core switches via fiber. This is now our go-to for small-scale industrial PoE deployments."Purchase Date: January 2025 | Usage Period: 6 months

David Lin - Certified Network Consultant (CCNP, CISSP)
"For small-to-medium environments needing reliable PoE without the complexity of full managed switches, this 8-port metal switch is an excellent middle ground. Its 30W per port capability and 120W total budget align perfectly with modern surveillance needs. I especially appreciate the SFP uplinks—a feature often missing in unmanaged PoE switches. Pair it with a managed core, and you’ve got a scalable, future-ready edge network."
Tanya Brooks - Senior Surveillance Solutions Engineer
"After testing multiple PoE switches, this one stands out for its build quality and thermal performance. In field deployments, metal housings like this reduce failure rates by nearly 40% compared to plastic. The LED diagnostics cut installation time in half. For any installer focused on reliability and ease of service, this should be on your shortlist—especially for outdoor or high-heat environments."
