Compact 9-port POE switch - unique design
By M. Chang on Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2023
I had been looking for a POE switch to replace my main home switch (8-port non-poe) for couple years without success. The reason is because I have a specific list of requirements (admittedly pretty niche): * Compact - I live in a townhouse with structured cabling that terminates in a fairly small wall box. It keeps everything nice and tidy, but also means there's limited space for extra equipment. POE switches necessarily require larger power supplies which means models with external power bricks are ideal in my scenario. This is apparently rare in POE switches larger than 8 ports *12-16 ports - Ideally I need a switch with exactly 14-ports. This would allow me to activate every Ethernet port in the house. The 10-15 port POE switch market is apparently very limited. The sweet spot seems to be 8 or 16 ports. They majority of 16 port switches listed on Amazon tend to be quite large. 8-ports is a little too few for me. *Goldilocks sigh* *At least a 3rd tier brand. Most of the switches I've seen seem to be branded under a hodgepodge of no-name Chinese companies. These companies also seem to be mostly rebadging 2-3 actual designs and just selling them under various brands and different colored stickers. It might be okay...but then again this thing will be sitting inside an enclosed box in my wall for many years with potentially 100W of power flowing through it. I feel better if I can reduce the chances of my house burning down because of a stupid switch. In the end I couldn't find an exact match for my criteria, but this one was close enough (Tenda TEG1109P-8-102W). It's been working flawlessly for about a month now powering my Access Point. I plan to have cameras and other POE devices eventually. Switching performance has been fine as well. I consider Tenda as a tier 3 brand in the US. It's not well known here, but it is a real company based in Taiwan (won't go into Taiwan vs China here) that has been in business for 20+ years and does a lot of business outside the US. I've seen their equipment used by some AV vendors for whatever that's worth.
