Customer Review
- Reviewed in Canada on June 26, 2020I saw that the 5-port version of this particular switch accepts a 5V - 0.7A DC input and I didn't want to take up another slot on the power strip just to power a switch.
So I ended up fashioning a USB to barrel power plug cable using an old USB cable and the power cord that came with this switch.
I have plenty of available USB ports in my Home Theatre set up and any one of them can power this switch. In fact I first tested that this method would work using a power bank and even that was able to power the switch and allowed it to transmit at full speed.
I currently have 4 ports populated with 1000mbps going to each port.
Its been stable so far and the metal chassis is relatively cool.
Glad the labeled input on the switch was correct and that my experiment ended up working out!
I would recommend this switch!
