YuanLey 48 Port Gigabit PoE Switch Unmanaged with 2 1000Mbps SFP Uplink, 50 Port 802.3af/at 800W High Power PoE+ Network Switch, Metal Rackmount Power Over Ethernet Switch

This is great if you router only has one or two rj45 outlets. It’s simply plug and play giving lots of outlets for your devices. At the moment it works very well, is quiet and manages four plugged in devices , hopefully the security cameras can be added and managed just as easily. It was very good value for money compared to other well known branded ones and performs just as well

I have had this YuanLey 8-port PoE switch installed for about 3 weeks now. It is connected to four Hikvision 8mp (4k) IP cameras, a Zyxel wifi (PoE powered) access point and a Netgear 105PE (PoE powered) switch connected about 75m distant. Since installation this YuanLey switch has worked perfectly. The case is of all metal construction with wall mounting cut-outs. Mine is mounted vertically on a wall. It has an IEC socket (kettle lead) on back for mains power (so much better than an external wall wart). Importantly, there is no partitioning of network traffic to an uplink port (unlike some PoE switched do). All ports are equal. The one thing I don't like is that the port status lights (which show the current port speed) are below the RJ45 connector so in my configuration with the switch mounted vertically on a wall, the port lights are difficult to see unless the cables are lifted out of the way - see one of my pics. But this is a very minor annoyance. A very good product at a reasonable price. Pleased with my purchase and would definitely buy again!

Because my cameras are far away from my main switch I had to use intermediary switches in order to deliver data and power to each cameras. I am using this switch to power 1 POE camera and to transmit data to other POE switch. Until now it works very well, and all my cameras are transmitting the stream flawless. In my first week I monitored the connections to cameras checking the pings response time, and I was surprised how stable it was, with average ping response around 18ms from main switch to the cameras, without any high peaks. It is very good considering that some cameras data is passing via 3 switches. It is fan less, so no noise coming from the switch. In the idle it consume around 3 watts and when I have 1 camera attached it consume around 10 watts. The build construction looks very sturdy, solid metal. The metal build also help on heat dissipation. There is no power ON/OFF button, just plug in the power cord to power it on. I am not using it extended mode, so I cannot tell how the port isolation feature works. For my needs it is a very good device that worth 40 bucks price.

I like these Yuanley switches (when they work) This 5 port one had a dead port so I’ve got to order another and return this one. Hope the next one is ok. I also ordered an 8 port which tripped the house fuse when switches on. Turns out the 13amp Plug had the neutral and earth reversed. How bad is that? They refunded me £12 so I could buy a new one. I cut the plug off and fitted a Screwfix one. Sorted.

Does exactly what it should do.

Bought this to run 5x external & 3x internal Hikvision POE cameras, including two with floodlights and one PTZ. We also have two Ubiquity Access Points on the first & second floors. I wanted the switch up on the third floor, but the NVR in my study on the ground floor. Install was a breeze; literally plug'n'play, and the fanless unit sits silently, doing it's thing. We ran Cat6 throughout the property when we renovated, connecting each room to a central cabinet in my study, plus shielded/weatherproof Cat6 to the locations we wanted external cameras. Our longest run between Camera & Switch is approximately 85m and from Switch back to Router/NVR is roughly 70m - there's been absolutely zero degradation in signal quality and all 9 cameras run at full resolution, the floodlight cameras light up exactly as they should and other than a minimal lag to access the PTZ camera, plus one or two Access Point reboots (which I put down to Virgin, rather than any fault in the POE switch), we've had very little to worry about. More than happy to recommend.

This product has been installed and in use for 18 months. From the beginning it has worked very well. For the past week the unit has stopped working properly. The ports all light up however nothing is working. The listing has no confirmation of warranty length and no response from support.

This is a great PoE switch at a good price and works very well. I will give it 5 stars for now, but the real test will be how long it will last. I will update this if there are any future problems.
