What to know before buying

  • The product feature text calls the switch fanless and silent, while customer feedback reports that fan noise can be somewhat loud. Treat acoustic performance as uncertain if quiet placement is important. Confirm the exact selected model and PoE needs before installation. The stated 190W is a shared total PoE budget, not per-port power.

Customer feedback highlights easy setup, reliability, connectivity, and adequate power for camera use, with some customers also reporting fan noise. Those reports are relevant to this unmanaged 24-port design and its shared 190W PoE budget, but they do not establish performance for every installation. The noise comments are especially worth weighing against the listing's fanless and silent description.

Positive themes

  • Customers report easy plug-and-play setup and reliability.
  • Feedback also mentions useful connectivity and power for camera installations.

Negative themes

  • Some customer feedback describes the switch as somewhat loud, in tension with the listing's fanless and silent claim.

Mixed feedback

  • Reports of quiet, fanless operation in the listing and fan noise in customer feedback do not align.
