Loaded with features . I am very happy in general. I bought this PoE switch to connect my IP Phones in VOIP IP PBX network. Technical support has been great and for the price I could't have made a better choice. I recommend it at least for a soho VOIP PBX deployment.

Great Switch . I am using this to power 4 PoE cameras and it worked out great. I am really happy with this product. +
1) Plenty of Power (the most important factor in my decision)
2) Lights and LCD screen on front are very helpful
3) Many advanced features on the switches built in web server
4) Good size
5) Metal Case-
1) Has a fan and eventually that fan will dieUpdate: Almost one year later I now own 3 of these things and they all work well.

Cons Review
Nice little features but annoying fan . I have several Netgear POE gigabit switches in my network. They function perfectly and have no fan. I decided to add the ability to SPAN (mirror) traffic to help with occasional network issues and purchased this Trendnet unit. I do like the extra features, but the fan on this thing is abysmal. It's old technology and not suitable if you require a quiet area where the switch is located. For me, this is a show stopper. Modern fans are incredibly quiet and this one's "always on" design just blows it for me. It's not that the fan is excessively loud, it's just highly annoying.

The things I do like about the unit include the ability to enable POE on each port via the web, packet counters, the mirror function (of course), the exact POE power output in watts for each port, and the integrated power adapter (no power block to convert 110v to DC). If they changed to a modern fan/airflow design I would be happy. The footprint is much bigger than the netgear (more than 2x) which is another decided disadvantage.

If it were going into a rack, five stars. For my application, knowing what I know now, I would not have purchased it.

Port Faults . 120 watts / 8 ports = 15w per port.
Plugged in 15w PoE Access Point. Link..... FAULT
Switched ports Link.... FAULTTried another AP. FAULT.
Unreliable garbage - constant "faults" on all POE ports . I bought one of these to provide power to five geovision cameras. It worked fine for about a month. Then, it would work for 20-30 minutes before switching each POE port to "Fault". Now, it instantly goes to "fault". This was a waste of money and a piece of garbage. Save your money - buy a different brand. Trendnet is unreliable and their documentation about "faults" is non-existant.
