After using this IP67 Outdoor Gigabit PoE Passthrough Switch for several months in various challenging environments, I can confidently say it's one of the most robust networking solutions I've tested.
The Good: This switch truly shines in outdoor installations. The aluminum die-casting body and waterproof design have withstood heavy rain, direct sunlight, and even snow in my testing. Unlike previous brands that failed within months, this unit has maintained perfect operation mounted outside in a flower bed for over half a year.
Performance: The throughput is impressive - I consistently got full gigabit speeds when extending connections between buildings. The automatic PoE detection works flawlessly, only activating power when needed to protect non-PoE devices. Port 1's 90W output handled power-hungry devices like high-end cameras without breaking a sweat.
Real-World Use: In my setup, it successfully powered two UniFi cameras and an outdoor AP simultaneously while extending a 300ft cable run. The LED indicators clearly show connection status and PoE type (BT/AT/AF), which is incredibly helpful for troubleshooting.
The Quirks: Some users reported issues with port functionality - in my case, all ports worked but required firm cable connections. The waterproof glands are tight (especially with pre-terminated cables) and you'll need to remove the green DC cover if not using external power. It only comes with three port blanks, so plan accordingly.
Pro Tip: For devices needing >30W, always use Port 1 or consider the DC input option. Also note it won't activate upstream PoE switches without a connected device - keep a PoE injector handy just in case.
Final Verdict: Despite minor quirks, this is hands-down the most reliable outdoor PoE extender I've used at this price point. It's saved me hundreds compared to branded solutions while delivering equal or better performance in harsh conditions.
