TPE-S44

My review title pretty much sums it up. Right now I'm using this to power two POE cameras that use 6.5w of power each. The TRENDnet switch will power up to four cameras, plus has four additional ports for other devices. Here's my current setup so you can get an idea based on what you're using: -Desktop computer running Windows 7 Home Premium -Linksys WRG54G2 router -TRENDnet 8 port POE switch -2 POE cameras Setup was super easy. I installed the switch and plugged it into my existing router. The Ethernet cables I ran for the two cameras came down to a wall jack, which I then ran patch cords from the wall to the powered ports on the switch. It was plug-n-play, everything came right up with no issues. It's been running 24-7 for almost a month now without a hiccup, so hopefully I'll continue to have good success with this switch and setup. Plans are to add two more cameras in the future. On a side note I'm using VitaminD software to monitor the cameras. I am mostly happy with it, with a few minor gripes but that's another review for another day.

We were installing an Allworx VoIP phone system for client, and they needed a POE switch to avoid using an external power supply. This is bare bone switch, unmanaged, no VLAN, QoS, etc.... In our application, this was a remote location with just 2 phones, so this will do the trick. Priced right also. The Allworx require 6.7watts per port, and this POE switch works fine. Be sure to check you device for POE consumption before purchasing. If you need a 24 port POE switch, layer 2, POE, VLAN, QoS, etc... Then look at ADTRAN 1234 POE switch...Very good switch...

This is an 8 Port switch that has 4 Power Over Ethernet ports (POE). POE supplies power to network devices which support POE, allowing you to forgo the electrical connection for the far end device. This unit is now up and running 4 network cameras on the 4 POE ports and a NAS on one of the other ports. All in all it has been trouble free and dependable. Due to my installation location, I needed a reliable dependable device and so far no worries. The price point is very good, being a good quality switch for a good price. One Caveat: Depending on your network and future growth, you may want to consider a higher speed switch, such as those having 1GB ports. If your network supports GB speeds, then I would consider a higher speed switch but those also come with a higher price tag. The TRENDnet8 gets the job done and is very affordable.

I have 2 of these units in full-time service as part of my Surveillance system. The IP cameras I have are able to use Power Over Ethernet (POE), witch saves running an additional power line to each camera. This is an 8 port switch, although only 4 of the ports are powered for POE. This is typical for the breed and I assume has something to do with how much power can be provided by any single unit without an overload problem. These unmanaged POE switches have been in servie for the last 2 months without any issue. I can recommend this product for POE applications similar to mine without reservation.

After researching many different PoE switches to power a group of Foscam cameras and other PoE devices on our home network, I finally went with the TRENDnet TPE-S44. I bought two of the switches, one for the home office area and one for the wiring closet where we have the panel feeding to the exterior cameras. At the camera end, I purchased LevelOne POS-1002 PoE Splitters to split the data and power signals to feed the cameras. After a couple days, one of the cameras (the third of three cameras plugged into the switch) became intermittent. Port three would no longer have three green LEDs but would have one red LED. Thinking the port might be bad, I switched the camera to port four only to have the problem reoccur the next day. Next, I swapped the switches between the home office and wiring closet to see if it was that particular switch that was defective. Again, after a day or so, the problem would reoccur. No matter which order the three cameras were plugged into the switch, it was always the last camera that was plugged in that would eventually fail to receive power as ports 1 and 2 never dropped power. I tried two other brands of PoE splitters at the other end to see if that resolved the problem to no avail. Finally, I bought a separate PoE injector to power the third camera, now plugging that into one of the non-PoE ports (ports 5-8) of the switch. Overall the switch works great but it does not appear to have enough power to reliably power all of the devices I needed it to.

I bought this to use with a Foscam FI8910e IP camera I recently purchased. I considered a more expensive Netgear unit but at $50 it was about a third of the price of the Netgear. Only real difference is it's lack of gigabit speed, but for my need, that wasn't a deal killer. Happily, I was able to attach it to my router and camera and it worked flawlessly. It is small and seems well constructed, but best of all is the relatively low price tag. I do recommend this unit for similar applications.

I just needed some POE connections for two ip surveillance cameras I was installing in my home, and this switch has worked perfectly. I've had this running for about 6 months now with zero issues. Just make sure you calculate how much power your device needs delivered via the Ethernet connection as there is a limit, and you don't want to push it. I'm using about 7.5w per port (two ports), well within the limits of this machine (30 watts max), so I can't vouch for a power draw that is higher than that.

First one I received failed after 4 weeks: does not output Poe voltage tho it works fine as a non-Poe switch. After interminable hours with trendnet's offshore call center, I got an RMA. Had to return at my expense. After 2 weeks, I received a replacement. 2 weeks after that,it also failed with same problem (no voltage for Poe). Rather than put myself thru the call center RMA dance, again, I ordered 4 neewer Poe power injectors which is actually cheaper than this trendnet brick. Can still use the trendnet switch as a plain old non-Poe switch.

Proporciona POE para teléfonos VOIP u otros dispositivos con poe como productos Ubiquiti, switches etc...

A la base, je suis plutôt Netgear mais celui ci m'a attiré par son tarif canon (35€). Et franchement, je ne suis pas déçu. 1. Il est très bien fini, rien à dire. Les connecteurs sont en plastiques mais c'est de bonne qualité. 2. Il est très compact, il ne prend pas une place folle. 3. Je l'utilise avec du matériel POE, c'est parfait, aucun soucis. Et 4 ports poe à ce tarif, c'est introuvable ailleurs. 4. il est fanless ! il ne fait aucun bruit ! Il n'est pas manageable, c'est parfait, c'est simple et efficace ! Un seul petit reproche, il n'y a rien de prévu pour le fixer sur un mur (fixation murale ou équivalent). Rien de méchant mais la concurrence le propose, mais fait payer le double.

I use this to provide POE to Trendnet IP cameras, and to connect 3 servers to my network - no problems with this unit; it works as intended, at an excellent price.

semplicemente favoloso apri la confezione, attacchi la spina, la spia si accende e tutto funziona perfettamente e piccolo e robusto pure bello lo consiglio ricevuto come sempre prima della data di consegna

Reliable POE switch, great if you only need 100Mbits. Ideal for powering network security cams requiring 48V POE
