MERCUSYS - 8-port computer Gigabit switch with 7-port PoE+, 65W PoE, support 802.3af/at PDs, power management, metal housing, plug & play, no setup required

Really like this switch, affordable and have not had any issues with it.

Works exactly as it should. Provides power to my PoE cameras and Unifi Cloud Key Gen 2. And at gigabit speeds. Cheaper than the rest too

This Mercury’s (tplink) switch works well. It has 8 ports and is PoE which means it can supply power to the devices connected to it, in my case this was IP cameras.

Got this to power my 4x hikvision cameras, they are Hikvision AI DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SRB 4k 8MP ColorVu3.0, so they use around 10Watt each and it handles them well.

Just before Christmas, I decided to re-jig our network, splitting it in two, moving some of the local only traffic onto another subnet, with its own router. As part of this reorganisation, I realised that we required an additional PoE switch, so let my fingers walk across the keyboard. I found a few switches within the budget I had set, this on from Mercusys was one of them, along with the usual suspects including TP-Link. I like TP-Link, their warranty is excellent, there was a 5 port TP-Link (4 PoE ports) which was £1 more expensive than this Mercusys one, which has 8 ports (7 PoE ports). I'd seen quite a bit of Mercusys equipment popping up whilst searching for equipment, though never purchased one, until I ordered this one. I have to say; I am really pleased with this PoE switch, though the icing on the cake was a sticker saying Mercusys is a TP-Link brand, I suppose in the same way as Kasa and Tapo. Have been using this switch for a couple of weeks, it has been flawless performance wise. When I purchased this switch, it was £25.99 which I consider this to be a bargain, when you know it is a TP-Link brand. For me, it is a definite 5 star recommendation.
