UGREEN Ethernet Switch, 10-Port PoE Switch, 8 PoE+@60W + 2 Gigabit Uplink

The UGREEN 10-Port PoE Switch is an unmanaged network switch built to distribute both high-speed data and electrical power across home or small office setups. Equipped with eight Gigabit PoE+ ports and two dedicated Gigabit uplink ports, it allows you to connect security cameras, wireless access points, and IP phones without running separate power cables to each spot. It delivers full 1000Mbps connectivity, keeping network communication responsive and lag-free.

Power management is straightforward and automated. Each PoE+ port supports up to 30W under the 802.3at/af standard, with a shared total power budget of 60W across the switch. Built-in intelligent power allocation monitors usage, and if total demand passes the 60W ceiling, it disconnects ports in priority order starting from port 8 down to port 1 to protect the hardware. The unit also auto-detects whether connected equipment requires power, sending purely data to standard devices while isolating any short-circuited ports independently.

For setup flexibility, a single physical button lets you toggle between Standard, Port Isolation, and Extend modes. Port Isolation separates traffic between ports 1 through 8 to stop network storms from spreading. In Extend Mode, transmission range reaches up to 820 feet for long-distance camera runs. This mode also activates PoE Auto Recovery on ports 1 through 6, which detects offline or frozen devices and automatically restarts them without requiring manual intervention.

The main limitation lies in the 60W total power budget. While individual ports handle up to 30W, connecting multiple high-draw devices will quickly reach the shared limit and trigger port shutoffs. Additionally, as an unmanaged switch, it relies entirely on its hardware toggle button rather than web-based software management, and auto recovery is restricted to the first six ports.

Verdict: The UGREEN 10-Port PoE Switch is a solid, hassle-free networking choice for users setting up IP cameras, access points, or office phones. Its one-touch mode switching and automated restart features make it dependable for everyday surveillance and small network expansions within its 60W total power limit.

• Total Port Count: 10 Gigabit ports (8 PoE+ and 2 Uplink)
• PoE Standard: 802.3at/af (up to 30W per port)
• Total PoE Power Budget: 60W
• Network Speed: 1000Mbps
• Maximum Extend Range: Up to 820 ft
• Switch Modes: Standard, Port Isolation (VLAN), Extend

A great fit if you:

• Need to wire and power multiple IP security cameras or access points from a single central hub.
• Want simple plug-and-play operation with hardware buttons instead of complex software configurations.
• Have cameras mounted up to 820 feet away that require extended cable runs.
• Rely on continuous monitoring and want frozen cameras to reboot automatically.

Consider something else if you:

• Require more than 60W of total simultaneous power across all your connected PoE hardware.
• Need advanced web-managed network routing and detailed software controls.

What happens if connected devices draw more than 60W in total?
The switch uses intelligent power management to shut down ports in priority order, cutting port 8 first and moving down toward port 1 to prevent overloading.

How does the PoE Auto Recovery feature work?
When operating in Extend Mode, ports 1 through 6 detect if connected powered equipment freezes or goes offline, automatically power cycling the port to reboot the device.

Is it safe to plug regular, non-PoE computers or printers into this switch?
Yes. The switch auto-detects connected hardware, supplying electricity only to PoE-capable devices while transmitting strictly data to non-PoE gear.

What does Port Isolation mode do?
Port Isolation separates traffic between ports 1 through 8, which prevents network storms from impacting your broader network setup.
