Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Great switch. Works like there is no tomorrow. Zero issues. This one rivals any of them. I like this though i've rarely seen switches fail.

I greatly prefer switches with metal cases to the cheaper, plastic-cased switches. I prefer internal power supplies, but the external brick will help keep the switch cool, so it is okay. The fact that buffalo stands behind the product is awesome too.

The switch has the port placement so even bolted to the wall there is enough room to squeeze the release tabs on the lan cables facing the wall. The green lan interfaces is a plus and will save power for lan signaling.

The buffalo bs-gu2008p 8-port gigabit green poe switch is a business class device and solidly made. The switch is generally a good quality unmanaged poe switch. It is a well-made 8-port gigabit switch with 6 poe ports in a solid metal chassis.



Cons

Quality is not there and support is apparently non-existent. There is a chat icon on their page but no agents available. Two ports are dead within first month of usage.
