Omada SG2005P-PD, 5 Port Outdoor PoE Passthrough Gigabit Ethernet Switch

I have had this installed on the side of my house with zero protection and its been rock solid even in the strongest storms. Its also facing the sun most of the days and given my home is solid brick this device bakes all day in high heat and i have yet to have a problem after a month of having this installed. You got two ways of mounting this out of the box, either pole mounted or wall mounted and its super easy to wall mount as they give you a peel and stick template taking the guess work out of where to drill your holes to get this mounted perfectly. Connectivity has been just fine feeding my outdoor AP's and a second one of these feeding my other AP's on the front of my property. You do have to be mindful of they PoE budget as this gets its power from a PoE line being ran to it then shares it with the devices connected so if you got a bunch of power hungry PoE devices you may hit its max wattage so you need to make sure you won't push it beyond what it can support. For what I needed this functions perfectly and saved me from having to run a bunch of new lines to my outside to support my outdoor Omada AP's which saved me a bunch of time. Overall the two of these I bought have had no issues at all even full exposed to the elements.

Great little switch, works well for both indoor and outdoor environments. It has PoE passthrough which means it's both powered by PoE in and can also provide PoE to downstream devices. I've got one in my garage and the fact that it's PoE powered meant that I didn't have to run new electrical wiring for it (it's in a location that doesn't have any power outlets). I've got two security cameras plugged in to it, both powered by PoE, and it's working well. Total power usage for my use case is a little less than 10W total. The switch itself is using around 4W. I've also got one non-PoE device plugged in to it. It supports management with an Omada Controller, or you can manage it standalone by going to its IP address in a web browser.

Needed a switch for my patio that could handle being exposed to the elements and didn’t need an electric socket near by. This fits the bill perfectly and since I’m already heavily invested in the Omada ecosystem, it fits in perfectly. My only wish is that they would just bump the price up a bit and chuck a POE++ injector in the box. I had to buy one separately since my switch doesn’t support POE++ and all my spare injectors are POE+. Anywho, this thing appears to work perfectly. It was painless for my Omada controller to adopt it and update the firmware. This is a very nice little switch. For my uses this will power two POE cameras, a POE access point and will provide a wired data connection to an outdoor smart TV. Just purchased a second of these to replace an older switch that live in a tree out by our fire pit. Installation was just as easy as the first one I purchased. This one will power three security cameras. After getting it mounted and the POE injector (purchased separately) installed I was able to adopt it in my Omada system and update the firmware. It’s running smooth.

To link is a great brand. This wouldn’t work with my uniquity Poe cameras so I returned this item. Customer service wasn’t able to resolve the issue. Have it a 3 star because their products are generally quality. Do some research that is specific to your application before buying.

A solid performing switch and it can be managed remotely through Omada. I have this mounted in the rafters of my garage using the included bracket. It powers and AP and a couple of hardwired devices. The included POE injector is a little anemic but it works for my use case. It works as advertised and I’m happy with it.

Works outdoor on a tree powering four IP security cameras totaling about 50W. I installed it over a year ago with a 95W POE++ injector in my basement powering the switch on the dead tree trunk next to four securities cameras. So far it did not fail in the Wisconsin winter or our humid hot summer and it works with IP cameras pushing about 30 mbps total through it continuously. Time will tell how long it will last.

Since the products are combined on one product page this is two reviews. First, for the outdoor unit: 1. This does not have any way to power itself. That means your need to find an outdoor powering solution... which defeats the point of buying this for its outdoor feature in the first place in most scenarios. 2. Its overpriced. There are a few outdoor poe switch options on amazon that cost less and actually do come with power. So half the work required and you didn't pay as much. 3. The holes for the ethernet to go through aren't exactly waterproof. And they're also not lined up with the ethernet ports, which means there will be a severe bend between the switch and the cover. With the bend, a larger ethernet cable cant really make the bend. With my thicker ethernet cables I have to leave the cover off which means it's not much different than a non outdoor unit. 4. Also, be sure to note you CANNOT use a passive Poe injector to power this. You have to buy a $75 poe injector to get this working. And then you have to find a way to make that injector usable outdoors. In my setup that was another $50 outdoor box... at which point, why not just put a non outdoor switch in the box instead? Second, the desktop switch lasted about 6 months. The previous one I had was about the same. I want to love tp-link because I use their business stuff, but the truth is, the products are just average.

I bought two of these SG2005P-PD to connect cameras and Wi-Fi in my yard. They were easy to set up using the SDN Omada app and my OC200. You don't have to use the controller to make it work, it connects right out of box. Only drawback is that you have to provide a PoE injector. I'm using a 90w injector. In retrospect, a 60w would have been enough, but that's OK because I can power another PoE pass through switch with the extra wattage I have available. I like that I can monitor the devices connected to the switch and it even supports PoE recovery. All in all, I would say it worth the money spent.

Una gran ventaja es que sólo necesita alimentarse de un sólo cable de red tanto para datos como para energía. Bastante útil si quieres conectar más dispositivos por LAN, y te ahorras metros cable, en vez de jalar cables desde el Switch principal.

Loose connections, the Ethernet cables fall out of any weight on them, I expected better connections for the price but it works within my omada environment

Funciona, pero en mi caso tuve que actualizarlo primero y dado que no soy un experto en redes, routers y direcciones iP pues me las vi negras. Esperaba que fuera Plug&Play pero definitivamente se requiere tener cierta habilidad técnica, tener acceso a tu módem, contar con un par de cables ethernet extra y una laptop con entrada de ethernet y sistema operativo windows.
