Pros & Cons
Pros
Not only is it name brand, but its a reputable company. Durable despite its small size, the build quality feels robust and reliable.
The switch is plug-and-play and easy to use as many of the tp-link products are. It is simple and unmanaged, but that is just fine for my application. I need vlan segmentation, which this version supports. It supports management with an omada controll... Read More
There are two toggles, which are your only options. The other toggle is a recovery mode to recognize issues with poe and reboot a switch. It helps with troubleshooting issues.
The switch has a power budget of 62w, so your mileage may vary depending on the wattage requirements of your poe devices. If the power demand exceeds 65w, the switch prioritizes ports to ensure critical devices stay powered. It has poe passthrough whi... Read More
Cons
Tp-link tl-sg1005p v2 switch poe implementation killed them. Seems this 5-port unmanaged poe switch doesn't successfully negotiate poe to a unify nano ap. It has a terrible failure mode where it simply starts dropping packets for 10 seconds or increas... Read More
The dc connector in the back is loose and allows the dc cord to fall out. All with a limited lifetime warranty - sort of. If i'm not mistaken, that means getting them to honor their warranty will cost me 1.
Highlights
Quality
Very happy wit these and the all metal build quality if high end.
• durable build: despite its small size, the build quality feels robust and reliable.
Connected the equipment, fired it up and and it started right up.
Here’s why this little device stands out:setup and design • plug and play: this switch requires zero configuration.
Price
Good value for a metal cased poe switch
Easy setup and was still cheaper than other switches.
This switch might be the best bang for the buck for its price.
A little on the pricier side, when a standard 8 port is $15 cheaper, but those don't do poe out, so that is worth a bit more.
Shipping
Love amazon’s same day service, saved my life!
Competitiveness
I replaced a really expensive ubiquiti switch with this and it was a life saver.
I would have gone with an 'indoor' version of this if i could find one with the same capabilities for around the same price.
Instead of trying to find a cheap usb print server,i opted for a switch that would handle 10/100/1000.

Its build well and is very quiet since there is no fan

This is a nice small and compact with that allows you to provide full 30w of power per port however you need to stay under a budget of 62w for the entire switch so you will need to calculate your power budget accurately
