Review on Power Up Your Network With UTT 1242GP 24 Port Gigabit PoE Switch - 802.3Af/At Compliant - Ideal For IP Cameras & APs by John Akins

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Work fine when they do

To be up front, I have not purchased this brand but am currently working this model. They appear to work great when new but I've seen two fail in the last four months where I replaced the first failed unit with same make/model that was already on hand then it failed two days ago. In both cases, PoE function seems to keep working but the switch side fails/freezes up. Was able to swap around a 24 port version with a 16 port version to get client back up but it will be the last UTT units I will use at the site.Heat may be a factor as both failures were in same spot with units near ceiling but room temp was only near 78° F. But noticed both units felt hot near the exhaust end (left when looking at front).

Pros
  • good switch
Cons
  • The UTT 1242GP switch offers limited customizability options, which may limit your ability to configure your network to your specific needs. This can be frustrating for advanced users who require more control over their network, and may leave them feeling limited by the switch's capabilities

First unit rec''d was DOA so I returned it for a replacement. The second unit was DOA as well. Went with another brand. UTT seriously lacks in the quality control department. Too bad we can''t rate these inferior products/companies with ZERO stars!
