TP-Link TL-SG116P | 16 Port Gigabit PoE Switch | 16 PoE+ Ports @120W | Plug & Play | Extend, Priority & Isolation Mode | PoE Auto Recovery | Fanless | QoS & IGMP Snooping

Great and simple PoE switch. Fed by a Ubiquiti point to point, PoE functions worked for my Tp link access points, but not my outdoor rated ubiquiti access point, wouldn’t power it up off PoE port, ended up using PoE adapter in network panel to power it up. Been using this for many months now in my barn/barndominum that is 1000 ft away from house, no issues operating with point to point, haven’t had to do any configurations or resetting equipment, true plug and play.

Great switch for the money

Very easy to install, quite the sleek design as well. Very pleased with the product.

The media could not be loaded. I didn't realize my old switch was too slow for the fiber internet we currently have, so adding this switch to our internet has improved or speeds significantly. Solidly built. TP-Link makes quality gear.

NVR is easy to install, plug and play. Rj45 patch/short cable from NVR to one side of POE switch, other end of same poe port across same cable to camera. Walla, Camera powered and sending signal to NVR and NVR can do whatever functions the camera can give. It is a pass through port powering up the camera from it to NVR. Yes I recommend this Item.

Don't be careless about connecting cables from a previous switch. I made the mistake of accidentally connecting both ends of a single cable to this unit, and that brought the poor device to its knees. I thought I had a defective unit. Nope - defective user. I love the isolation feature - wish I could isolate fewer than 8 ports, but hey, I know of no other Gigabit switch that has this feature.

Does the job

After moving my router to a more central location in the house, I found that my old 8-port, PoE switch, located in the attic, had one port that wasn't working. Switching port connections didn't help. A little on-line research showed that the switch was rated functional down to 10 degrees F. Temps in my attic occasionally reach minus 20, but as mentioned, the switch had worked well for 10 yrs +. Searching for a switch rated to 20 below meant spending BIG bucks for a military grade unit.I bought this unit, drilled a 2" diameter hole in the ceiling of the closet of my office, stuffed all the cables through a 2" grommet, and stuffed cotton balls in the excess space. I caulked around the top in the attic and replaced about 10" of insulation atop it. The unit's power cable was stuffed up through the grommet and was long enough to reach a standard electrical outlet in the attic.Mounting the unit on a wall below the grommet was simple. It's silent, but I may have paid more for it than needed due to my ignorance of what was needed. It has switches for various configurations - I left those in default position. All is working well. All cables connectivity is good. Compared to the old, basic switch I replaced, build quality seems to be excellent.Based on the description of this switch, it may be more appropriate for a small business application. At this time, I'm connecting 8 surveillance cameras, but plan on adding one or two more, and wanted extra ports for that.As mentioned, it's a bit pricier than I may have needed, but I now have a fully functional switch, and the project to replace is over.
