POE EXTENDER

I bought this because the world has gone crazy and I'm in the process of making my own home more secure. That means an array of ip cameras and a lot of network cable pulling! I drilled a hole in the wall and began feeding cable through that hole and quickly realized the hole just isn't big enough. Since I want to avoid crowding in the hole, I started to look for solutions and ran ran across this guy. I needed a solution that would power two PoE IP cameras using one cable without a plug nearby and this fit the bill. Since its for outside use, I paired it with this item https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075DHRJHZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and a bit of silicone to ensure water tight and all has been well (note: its pretty tight with all cabling in the box - I would buy bigger if I could do over). It's been up for a couple months now and survived the elements thus far. We've had a few hot days here (80+ ) since the install and I'll post back here after winter for an update on how it went over the winter months but for now, 5 stars! Update 04/2022 Still going strong powering two poe cameras after two winters and going on the 2nd summer in the lower Midwest. Would still highly recommend this product. Update 05/2023 Set it and forget it. I have not touched this setup since installation. Works good in the weather proof box out in the elements. For reference, this year my area experienced a very cold few days, cold enough to freeze equipment on the warehouse floor at work making them inoperable. This guy kept trucking, no issues.

Purchased a Ubiquiti NanoSwitch to power a Reolink camera and Ubiquiti Access Point (AP) off of one single Ubiquiti PoE switch port. That doesn’t work: NanoSwitch only runs on (and provides) passive 24V PoE — while Reolink cameras only take active 802.3af PoE. This product does what one would think NanoSwitch does: it takes 802.3af (48V) in from a Ubiquiti PoE switch — one provides 802.3af compliant (48V) PoE output to two devices — all without any external power. I did have one problem: my Reolink camera won’t boot if it is plugged into Port 2. It only works if plugged into Port 1. I suspect this is because of the timing of how fast the AP gets its power, and how much power it draws on boot up. But whatever, it works perfectly, it’s cheap, it’s 802.3af compliant. A lifesaver.

Worked for just one year. Failed at just over 12 months; POE switch detects a POE device but link never negotiates. If you are installing this for a client, keep your reputation, spend more and get something worthwhile. In the future we will skip these cheap units and use Veracity; substantially more costly but has always been reliable.

Great product. Allowed me to easily wire up low power lights and security cameras all over my house from my router thats on a UPS, so now when my power goes out, all my security cameras still work. And if it is early in the morning or late at night, my emergency lights go on automatically. Obviously a lot more pieces went into the setup, but there were many options for all other components, while this was the only 60w poe extender with 4 outputs and which does not require an external power source that i could find. Highly recomend this for anyone setting more than 1 device in 1 place on their PoE network.

works great

The problem I have is the cat 5 cable run is over 330 feet and I was losing signal. By using a booster, splitter and a power injector I was able to get a good signal at the end for wifi use. There are some pauses on Netflix every now and then and some websites take a bit to load but over working fine after three months.

I had a bullet camera mounted under the eve of my summer house and found a PTZ dome camera I wanted at that location, but I wanted to ensure I kept the existing, fixed view also. I found this POE switch and thought it must be too good to be true. I got a small (about 6"x6"x5") plastic mounting box to put under the eve, mounted both cameras on it, and mounted the POE switch inside. I was using a Netgear GS305EP to provide the POE feed to that location, and this combination is working great. The system has been working for four months (July to October in Maine) with no problems. Its night, but I captured a still to show the PTZ dome mounted to the bottom and the bullet mounted off to one side. This was a very easy solution and I really appreciate the ease of mounting the box (also made it easier to mount both cameras) rather than pulling a new POE data line.

I've ordered about 20 of these in the last year for camera systems, half of them from this specific seller. About the same amount the year before. They are all low quality, no matter who's selling them, and my experience has been about a 50% failure rate within the first month or so. It doesn't matter if they are installed indoors or outdoors in a weatherproof box, it's still a toss up if you'll be replacing them again soon. The problem I have, is that I haven't found a better alternative. Higher quality products I've tried haven't had much better replacement rates, they just have better exteriors and cost more to replace.

Worked well from the start. I've had this device for 18 months, zero issues.
