NICGIGA GS0822P, twelve-socket unmanaged switch with eight powered sockets and four uplinks review

A twelve-socket unmanaged switch with eight powered sockets, two copper uplinks and two SFP cages, cooled by a fan and rated at 120 W shared.

The bottom line The most connectable switch on this shelf, with copper and fibre uplinks and a voltage stated as well as a class. The fan is the price, and it is the reason this belongs in a cupboard rather than a room.

On the listing

Twelve gigabit sockets: eight PoE+ at 10/100/1000 Mbit/s, two gigabit uplinks and two SFP cages, with the SFP pair described as offering more bandwidth and reaching routers and recorders; support for 48 V IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at with up to 30 W at each socket and 120 W in total, and a note that 12 V and 24 V PoE are not supported; 4 kV lightning protection with an industrial fan and metal case for heat dissipation; unmanaged plug and play with power detection, automatic detection of powered devices, compatibility with unpowered devices, automatic MDI/MDIX and non-blocking forwarding; and a stated one-year warranty with technical support for the life of the product.

The class, the voltage and the total

Three separate facts, and this page prints all three. The class decides what one socket may deliver. The voltage decides whether a device built for a passive injector will work at all, and the answer here is stated as no. The total of 120 W is what all eight powered sockets share, so it is the sum of the connected devices that has to fit under it, never the per-socket ceiling multiplied out.

Two copper, two SFP. That is what separates this unit from the eight-socket boxes beside it. Copper for the router in the same cupboard, fibre for the run to the outbuilding, and both available at once.

The fan

The third bullet names it. A fan is what makes 120 W across eight sockets practical in a small metal case, and it is also what makes the unit audible. This is a cupboard switch, and the page says as much without meaning to.

Before ordering

Ask which SFP modules the seller has seen work in these cages, and at what reach. The cages are rated and the modules are not supplied.

Where it holds up, and where it stops

Strengths

  • Publishes the voltage as well as the class, and says outright that 12 V and 24 V PoE will not work, which closes the compatibility question rather than leaving it open
  • Offers both kinds of uplink — two copper and two SFP — so a fibre run or a second switch has somewhere to land
  • Names a 4 kV lightning protection figure and states the warranty as one year with technical support beyond it

Compromises

  • It has a fan, so it is not a unit for a room where people work or sleep
  • The SFP cages are given a rate but no module type, reach or wavelength, so what plugs into them has to be settled with the seller
  • At 120 W shared across eight sockets, a full complement of devices at the 30 W ceiling would not fit

Specifications

PoE standard supportedIEEE 802.3af and 802.3at at 48 V — stated in the second bullet, which also states that 12 V and 24 V PoE are not supported
Per-port power budgetUp to 30 W at one socket — stated in the second bullet as what each socket can deliver
Total power budget120 W for the unit — stated in the title and in the second bullet. It is the figure the eight powered sockets share, and it is what the sum of the connected devices has to fit inside
Powered port countEight — stated in the title and in the first bullet as eight PoE+ sockets at 10/100/1000 Mbit/s
Port countTwelve — stated in the title, made up of eight powered sockets, two gigabit uplinks and two SFP cages
Port speed10/100/1000 Mbit/s on the eight powered sockets and 1000 Mbps on the two copper uplinks — stated in the title and the first bullet, with the SFP cages given as 1G
Managed or unmanagedUnmanaged — stated in the title and in the fourth bullet, which names plug and play with no software and no configuration, automatic MDI/MDIX, automatic detection of powered devices, and non-blocking forwarding
Uplink typeBoth — two gigabit copper uplinks and two 1G SFP cages, stated in the title and in the first bullet, where the SFP pair is described as offering more bandwidth and reaching routers and recorders
CoolingFan-cooled — stated in the third bullet, which names an industrial fan together with the metal case as the means of shedding heat

The questions that come up before an order

Why does the listing insist on 48 V?

Because passive injectors sold at 12 V and 24 V look identical at the socket and are not the same thing. The standards this switch names are defined at 48 V, and the second bullet says the lower voltages are not supported. A camera bought as a passive PoE device will not run from this unit, and that is worth knowing before both arrive.

What is an SFP cage for on a switch this size?

It takes a pluggable module, usually optical, which lets the switch reach further than copper allows or join a fibre run that already exists. The module is bought separately and has to match the fibre at the other end. This listing gives the cages a rate of 1G and does not name a module type, so that pairing is a question for the seller.
