This was popular previously and now cheaper with an AU plug available. If you have AliExpress coins you can get it as low as US$26.09 (~A$39.56). A good price if you're needing to power something like a camera with Power over Ethernet.

This one features 8 Gigabit PoE ports (30W max each port) and 2 gigabit uplink ports.

    Why do you need 2 Uplink Ports ?

      Cause two is better den 1? 😂

      Two devices ? 🤔

      HA / failover, throughput.

      Some switches allow ports to be combined to double their throughput.

      Some uplink ports have their own dedicated processors, so you'd have up to 1Gbit x 1 + 1Gbit x 1 and then a further 1Gbit / 8 ports max throughput.

      One as an uplink to the main router, the other downlink to the next switch in the other corner of your house, you will not waste a PoE for the downlink.
      I have some other PoE switch that has 4+4, 1 uplink, 3 for general use, 4 with PoE.

        For those requiring dual uplinks, should not be relying on KeepLink switch to begin with. And besides, this is an unmanaged switch, so that is hint at the target audience.

        • hotphil on 20/06/2024 - 09:10

          The description mentions CCTV, which this would seem pretty good for

          What why not? KeepLink switches always keeps the link working. It's right there in the name.

            @stephendt: Yeah, thankfully they didn't call it K Link and expect us to figure it out. Like, what does "TP Link" and "D Link" even mean? Toilet Paper? Divisional?

      NBN > pfsense router > network switch > everything that's wired in the house = poe WAPs, NAS, TVs, media / music players, xbox, PC, CCTV NVR, poe doorbell.

      I think this is a unmanaged switch so no vlan configuration etc. Just a plug and play switch with poe. Not bad for the price.

      • PainToad on 20/06/2024 - 07:08

        poe doorbell

        For a second a read that as poo doorbell and pictured a doorbell on a toilet door.

        Wow, is there a way to setup the reolink poe cameras and doorbell with this instead of buying a NVR?

        • tman2020 on 20/06/2024 - 07:48

          Yes you can for live viewing. You will need to look into alternatives for recording though like blue iris. This switch should be fine to power a few cameras.

          • klaw81 on 20/06/2024 - 08:13

            @tman2020: You can use the built-in SD card slot for storage, although that's less secure. Or you can use a NAS or FTP share. There's even a (paid) cloud storage if you prefer. Plenty of options.

            • tman2020 on 20/06/2024 - 08:23

              @klaw81: Of course. I was thinking more of a nvr alternative such as a nas with blue iris.

        • XeKToReX on 20/06/2024 - 08:34

          Blue Iris, Frigate and Scrypted are all good.

          Little bit of effort getting the latter 2 setup but far more reliable than Blue Iris in my experience once you have them going.

          Reolink has a Windows NVR program that you can download, it has pretty much the same functionality as the hardware NVR and gets updates quite often.
          I use it on an older PC with an SSD as OS and a large HDD as storage.
          Not sure if the doorbell can be integrated though but you should be able to put that on their cloud offering which is free for 1 camera (needs opt in every month but not a big annoyance) with plenty of recording space.

      • AndrewMTG on 20/06/2024 - 08:19

        does having the switch assign diff IPs to each device right? (tbh i shud know this off a bit of networking unit in my course 😂)

        • klaw81 on 20/06/2024 - 08:25

          Routers assign IP addresses. Switches do not.

          The purpose of a switch (at least an unmanaged one) is just to connect more devices into the network…and in this case, also provide power to devices connected to the PoE ports.

          When new devices are connected to the switch, they will communicate with the router and be assigned an IP address.

          • AndrewMTG on 20/06/2024 - 08:28

            @klaw81: Ah so each device connected will have its own IP tho right (assigned by router) and it's not like sharing one that's assigned to the switch?

            • klaw81 on 20/06/2024 - 08:35
              +2

              @AndrewMTG: That's correct. Each device on the network will have an individual IP assigned by the router

              An unmanaged switch is not assigned an IP address. It's really just the networking equivalent of a power board (that's a simplification, but it's true enough).

              • AndrewMTG on 20/06/2024 - 08:45

                @klaw81: fair enough and coolio…

                sorta like a port expander on a router then ay

      coolio, what do most peeps use network switches for?

      For avoiding wifi, which sucks ass for reliability.

      An ideal home setup has everything wired except laptops and phones.

      My old place was totally wired during a renovation. Desktops, servers, cameras. My current place uses wifi and the environment definitely isn't as reliable despite using enterprise grade wireless APs. I'll notice timeouts just on my desktop a couple times a month, which compared to wired is really shit- there are going to be plenty of dropouts that I don't even notice.

    120 watt power budget. So if you have a couple of Unifi APs (~12 watts each) and Reolink POE cameras (~10 watts each), looks like plenty of overhead. Assuming of course that number is accurate :)

        Oh cool, didn't realise POE had that kind of thing (but haven't looked into POE at all). Thanks haha.

        I assumed it was a "marketing by adding AI to the name of everything" type thing.

  • skyva on 20/06/2024 - 13:29

    there are different poe voltages depending on end device. Does this auto sense? I didn't see any standards mentioned on the page (af/at) for example.

    • rumblytangara on 20/06/2024 - 13:48
      +1

      The specs do mention at/af.

      I haven't seen passive PoE on devices since 2015 when Ubiquiti was still selling crap that used it.

      • skyva on 20/06/2024 - 13:53

        yeah I have some 24v and 48v stuff from unifi. Before I knew better. But as big a pita as it is, most of it still works after 10yrs.
