4 Port Network Switch

[Fan] Using for a home solution mated to an EdgeRouter POE, and ToughSwitch. I purchased to replace an unmanaged Cisco switch that did not offer link aggregation. I have been using other Ubiquiti products since 2013, and so far has been an extremely positive experience, minus my Gen1 UniFi UAP-AC('s) ... I was able to DHCP into the switches 192.168.1.X network pretty painless, then configured VLANs and switched all ports to but one to different VLANs/subsets then once I jumped back into the switch on the new network I was able to reconfigure that last port. Probably would have been idea to leave one port on default VLAN but I need all 24 ports. Plenty of good videos on configuring if you need them, I was able to get the hang of the GUI pretty quickly, seems stable and decently user friendly. Currently runs at 50C so that's good ... will keep an eye on temps.

[1x RJ45] The QNAP does extremely well using auto negotiation on my mixed network. All 10 Gb network cards (OWCPCIE10Gb) from B&H run at rated speeds. Direct 10 Gb transfers between (2) computers with NVMe drives averages slightly over 1 GigaByte/s. Primarily purchased for large backup image and rendered file transfers between multiple computers and a backup server using CAT6a (10'-30') and CAT8 (95'-120') cables. No dropouts during multiple transfers taking place. Plays well with the 2.5 Gb cards and (1) ancient Intel 1.0 Gb card still in the network as well. Also will support up to (8) VLANs, link aggregation and Spanning Tree Protocol. Management is web based, straightforward and easy to set up or change using either the MGMT RJ45 port or web browser connected via the RJ45 or SFP+ ports. Used an SFP+ module to test all SFP+ ports. All port properly negotiate to NIC rated speeds. Switch is quiet even though the twin fans spin at 4k+ RPM. (3) fan curve options in setup. The front and top surfaces stay between 89° to 94°F (pyrometer checked). SFP+ module tops out at 95°F on the exposed faces under load. Rated maximum power is 48.6 watts. Internal DC power supply with a 120V AC cord instead of a clumsy 4+ amp power brick. Have a few more 10Gb cards to purchase yet. Only had it for a few weeks, but it's certainly been doing the job. About the same price as a Netgear 10 port 10Gb managed switch, 4 ports of which are only 2.5Gb. Only about $50 more than a Buffalo 8 port 10 Gb unmanaged switch. A switch that you can grow into instead of out of for a SOHO network. It's a keeper fer shur.

[8.8 Gb/s ] I am using this PoE for a home security system with Vivotek IP8335H 720P HD Cameras. It was very esatly to install, just hooked up the network from my 4 port router to port 8 of the switch, and attached my 4 cameras to the 4 ports that supply PoE and off I went!! It has a total of 8 ports, however 1 port must be used to supply the network to the unit, then there are 4 with PoE capability and that leaves 3 regular ethernet ports. Nice switch for the price. So far I havent found any fault with this item.

[Storm Control] I am using this UniFi 8-port switch as a secondary remote switch to my UniFi 16-port network switch. No issues whatsoever.

[12 VDC] I bought this switch specifically to allow me to transfer files between my computer and NAS faster. My NAS has two Gigabit network ports and my computer (running Windows 10) has one Gigabit network port. My transfer rates were a measly 35-60MB/sec. I put a 10Gb NIC in my computer and used this switch to bind two network ports the NAS was using together to establish a 2Gb port. The interface on the switch is very easy to navigate and understand. First thing I did, of course, is to change the password. Next I did the binding. I don't have a need for a VLAN where it is located but may end up buying another switch in order to seperate my security camera traffic from the computer traffic. I have options now!With files transfers, I am now getting a solid 110MB/sec transfer rates sustained. I'm hoping I can tweak this a bit more to increase it but it is far better than it was before.

[10 lb] Paired up with my 16 port switch, this helps prevent packet storms at the edge of my network. All good!

[10 to 90%] I use this item in a home network. I started getting more and more Ubiquiti products last year to replace older network equipment in my home network. This 8 port switch is powered by POE from my larger Ubiquiti 24 port POE switch. It allows me to remotely power cycle the switch via the Unifi Controller software and eliminates the need for a power supply for the switch. I like being able to monitor the network traffic on this managed switch. This 8 port switch has no fan so no noise, as expected it is warm to the touch but not really hot. I expect to get one or two more. I am totally satisfied
