YuanLey 5 Port Gigabit PoE Switch Review

The low-power silent design ensures stable operation. The self-developed power supply and high redundancy design provide long-term stable PoE power output. It can meet the needs of security monitoring, teleconferencing systems, wireless coverage and other POE power supply scenarios.

There is no on/off switch. Plugging the power supply in turns the switch on. I recommend doing this first, then connect the POE devices at a time. I did try plugging-in/unplugging the power supply with all POE devices connected. There was no problem.

I connected 6 IP cameras to the switch. At full load, with all cameras booting at the same time and infra on (they turn on during boot), cameras+switch used around 50w (kill-a-watt). With the infra off, cameras+switch used around 35w. For these reasons, I was not able to verify the 120w output claim.

The switch was never even warm. The cameras did get HOT but survived the test. The power brick was more of interest because it will be in a VERY HOT attic. It was normally warm. To stress test, I wrapped it in a towel and put all cameras in a dark room to triggered the infra. In a few hours, the brick got quite hot, but not bad. Left it that way for a day. The conclusion is that it should survive my attic.

Overall, the YuanLey 5 Port Full Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ Switch is a must-have for anyone looking for a PoE switch, especially for an IP camera system.
