Pros and cons
Pros
- Four PoE+ ports and an 83W shared budget can power several compatible Ethernet devices without separate power connections at each device.
- Unmanaged plug-and-play setup avoids software installation and network configuration.
- Fanless construction and desktop or wall-mount placement offer quiet, flexible installation.
Cons
- All five ports are listed as 1.0Gbps, so this is not a multi-gigabit switch for faster-than-Gigabit links.
