We used the 1GbE version in an outdoor setting to easily connect multiple sensors in a port within a research project. Good reliability and being able to extend and "split" the ethernet connection without additional power supplies was very convenient.

We did not integrate them into a UniFi ecosystem, just used the PoE and dumb-switch functionality.

Similarly I've had a 1GbE one installed in my loft for the last 3 years with 4×G5 Bullets plugged into it.

No problems, no fuss, mounting options are great - would recommend that approach to anyone installing cameras.

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, but still fun to see that they’re apparently using an ESP32 as management processor (without antenna, probably just RMII directly to the switch ASIC)

Edit: there’s a RTL8201 10/100 PHY to the left of the switch asic, that connects the ESP to one of the switch ports.

Ubiquiti copies in a lawyer for what reason now? Reviewing a bought product. That is absolutely BS behavior.

With the upcoming Realtek RTL8127 based products I would rather jump to 10G straight. Sadly there isn't much competition in that switch segment, I couldn't find reasonable products besides maybe Mikrotik CRS304-4XG-IN.

Is there anything comparable in the TP-Link Omada ecosystem?
