IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at — stated in the title and the third bullet
IEEE 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
Up to 30 W at one socket — stated in the second bullet as what each socket can deliver
120 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
Eight — stated in the title and in the first bullet as eight PoE+ sockets at 10/100/1000 Mbit/s
Not published on the listing — the title and all five bullets give the shared total and nothing else, and no ceiling for a single socket appears anywhere on the page
250 W for the unit — stated in the title. It is the figure the sixteen powered sockets share between them, and with no per-socket figure published it is the only power number on the listing
Sixteen — stated in the title and in the first bullet as sixteen PoE+ RJ45 sockets alongside two uplinks. The third bullet says instead that all sockets support PoE, which does not agree with the count in the title
What separates the models, in network and storage gear
If price decides: this model, at $46.
Highest Total power budget in the table: GigaPlus GP-GS1602P, eighteen-socket unmanaged switch with sixteen powered sockets (250 W for the unit — stated in the title. It is the figure the sixteen powered sockets share between them, and with no per-socket figure published it is the only power number on the listing).
The buyer this one serves, among network and storage gear
A home with a few cameras or access points, where a quiet fanless unit and the lowest price matter most.

A reference exists on these Amazon stores: France, Germany, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom, United States. Listed is not the same as in stock — availability changes daily.
Specifications: the manufacturer sheet for network and storage gear and the matching Amazon product page. Prices and availability: Keepa. Every figure on this page names its source.
802.3af and 802.3at · 250 W total, no per-socket figure · sixteen powered of eighteen · two gigabit uplinks · one-key VLAN mode · unmanaged
An eighteen-socket switch with sixteen powered sockets and a 250 W shared budget, which never states what one socket can deliver and contradicts itself about how it mounts.
Best for: A building with a dozen or more cameras where the total draw is known and the switch will live in a cupboard, and where the per-socket question can be settled with the seller first.
802.3af and 802.3at · up to 30 W per socket · 65 W total · seven powered of eight · gigabit · Extend mode to 250 m · metal case · 5-year warranty
A gigabit switch that powers seven of its eight sockets and states both halves of the power question — 30 W at one socket, 65 W for all — in an Amazon.com description that is the whole page.
Best for: A small camera or access-point setup — a few low-power devices — behind a router, where a five-year warranty matters.
802.3af and 802.3at · up to 30 W per socket · 250 W total · sixteen powered of eighteen · uplinks numbered 17 and 18 · internal supply · fan-cooled
A rack-mounted eighteen-socket switch with sixteen powered sockets, an internal power supply and fans, which numbers its uplinks and isolates the powered sockets from each other.
Best for: A rack in a cupboard or a small server room carrying a camera installation, where fans are inaudible and an internal supply saves space.
