Surprised by this one
Needed a PoE injector to power two WAX214 APs. In early 2000s I was manufacturing proprietary equipment which was placed on top of silos, 400' towers, on top of churches, etc. All of this was PoE, so I had some background knowledge in what was needed. I had dug out some pass-thru vintage PoE injectors which haven't been used in two decades ... these things are bullet proof, lightning arrestor, capacitors, backup power supplies, etc. I was tempted to go that route..
But as luck would have it, I got lazy and decided to add this little 4 port PoE (1 port standard a go. I expected something cheap (it was inexpensive after all) that I'd end up not using for very long if at all. I was pretty surprised by this one ... it's a solid, metal case ... feels great, small form factor.
The LED lighting they tossed on it includes everything you need for an unmanaged switch of this type. They did a great job giving you the information you need.
The two WAX214 access points were easily powered (around 150' of CAT6 being used). Uplink is fine for what it is (1Gbit).
For my application, this was all fine and leaves me a few ports to grow - although I'm not sure if I'd toss another two PoE devices on it - pending on the voltage requirements anyways. Perhaps it could handle it, but it's entry-level stuff.
You will get your Gbit out of it, minus the overhead, in a perfect setup with just two devices ... don't expect enterprise quality ... but for 99% of the world, this is a brilliant little PoE injector/switch.
