Review: Cute Little Baby Switch - I run a Home-Lab that includes 2 of these little PoE switches. Working in an Enterprise IT environment, I would often forget that these smaller residential/hobby switches exist, but gosh to I love them. Not only are they cute, but they provide that enterprise level functionality with PoE. This means it could be used to wire up a PoE security camera system, handling both your network connection and power in one cable! Minus the countless other applications of PoE, this switch provides ample value for what you're paying. The build quality even on a switch this small is great! Feels heavy and sturdy but could honestly be held up by a number of command strips (Please... don't do that though!!!). I haven't noticed any problems with my unit getting too hot or needing anything special to operate as intended. All 8 ports work as expected and the throughput is, in fact, Gigabit as advertised. So no problems there. If you are looking for something consolidated but powerful, this could be for you!
Review: Reliable plug-and-play PoE switch, no issues after months of use - I’ve been using this switch for several months now, and it’s been completely reliable. Setup was as simple as it gets. Plug it in, connect devices, and it just works. No configuration needed, which is exactly what I was looking for. I’m using it to power and connect multiple devices over PoE, and it has handled everything without any drops or instability. Once it’s up, you don’t have to think about it, which is what you want from a switch. Build quality feels solid, and it runs without any noticeable issues during normal use. Pros True plug-and-play setup Reliable over several months of continuous use Handles PoE devices without issues Stable connection with no dropouts Cons No advanced management features (expected for this type of switch) Bottom Line If you need a simple, reliable PoE switch that just works without setup, this is a solid choice.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ NETGEAR is build with TRUST in mind
*by R***. on December 24, 2025*

I read many, many reviews here on Amazon and the web about sending power through RJ45 to BNC cameras ( I don't have IP cameras yet ), so I started with the NETGEAR 8 Port PoE Gigabit Ethernet Easy Smart Managed Essentials Switch (GS308EP) - with 8 x PoE+ @ 62W ( ASIN B08MBFLMDC ) since I only have 4 cameras and 1 camera is PTZ ( when I get IP cameras I am already set to manage the power, QoS, VLAN, etc with the switch ). I purchased 5 pairs Passive PoE Injector and PoE Splitter Kit with 5.5x2.1 mm DC Connector RJ45 Power Over Ethernet. I have a NETGEAR GS308 5 port switch which will provide communication to the GS308EP switch so I can access the admin page. With all that and reading the reviews, unfortunately I could not get it to work. No power being sent to the cameras and the question of WHY. I continued researching the WHY until I found from NETGEAR that in order for the GS308EP switch to communicate and be able to manage the power to the cameras the splitters had to be 802.3af/at compliant, if not the baluns WILL NOT work, and that I needed ACTIVE baluns, NOT passive like the first 5 pairs I purchased. I did find and watched a video "How to Install AHD CCTV Cameras using POE switch as Power Source" that helped me understand about the active baluns. I then purchased a 4-Pack Active PoE to 2.1mm DC - IEEE 802.3af/at compliant. I could not be more happier when I received the ACTIVE baluns and connected them cause everything was set, I was just waiting on the ACTIVE baluns. The ACTIVE baluns are the ones that worked for me with the setup mentioned above and I hope it helps other people out there that have basic knowledge, because there is no single page on the internet that provides you a solution, you have to dig and read many, many pages to do trial and error until it works. I love Netgear products and still have ( of course not connected ) a Netgear Internet Gateway Router with a built-in 4-port 10/100 Mbps Ethernet switch model RT314. Netgear is build with TRUST in mind. Thanks
