Let me tell you why this little black box has become my go-to solution for outdoor networking projects. I've been using it to power security cameras at my rural property where running new electrical lines would cost a fortune.

The setup was stupidly simple - just plugged it into my existing PoE switch and immediately got four fresh PoE ports. No configuration, no external power needed. It's been hanging on my barn wall through snowstorms and summer heat waves without issues.

Performance-wise, I'm getting full gigabit speeds to all four ports simultaneously. Currently running two Ubiquiti cameras, one access point, and still have a spare port. The auto-sensing protection gives me peace of mind when adding new devices.

What surprised me most was the range extension. My longest run is about 280ft of old copper wiring that previously couldn't deliver PoE reliably. This extender made those last two cameras work perfectly where other solutions failed.

The only minor gripe? The housing feels a bit lightweight when you first hold it, but after seeing it survive over a year outdoors, I can't complain about build quality anymore.

If you need to expand your outdoor network without running new cables or installing outlets, this extender delivers exactly what it promises. It's become an invisible but critical part of my property's tech infrastructure.
