As a passive device, does this work with Gigabit Ethernet Switches or is it only good for 10/100???

Also, check your devices. Just because you connect them to a gigabit switch doesn't make them gigabit. I have not seen a camera that has a gigabit connection so POE or not, they will connect at 100Mbit. Considering that a 3MP camera operates at about 8Mbit per second, you will never see any issues related to the camera port being 100Mbit.

My devices are hooked up through a gigabit switch, however, the switch is reporting 10/100 speed on those ports. So to answer your question, it downgrades gigabit to 10/100.

Gigabit Ethernet uses all 4 wire pairs as data lines, so it is not possible* to have Gigabit Ethernet and PoE on the same cable.* Technically it's possible to use phantom power, but it's intended for very low current devices in the neighborhood of 10 mA.

It will work with a Gigabit switch, but it is only a 100 Megabit device and will not provide Gigabit pass through of a POE device, only 100 Megabit of POE data. This is not a passive device, it needs power. When the data side of the device is plugged into a Gigabit switch, it will register as a 100 Megabit connection, but it will work fine, just not at Gigabit speed.

10/100 if your looking for gigabit local lan use a gigabit router in tandem

Yes, Gigabit ethernet is supported. The on-board network connector supports 10/100/1000Mbps connection speeds. 1000Mbps is equal to 1 gigabit per second, thus the term "Gigabit ethernet". Of course you should have a Gigabit Router\Switch and CAT5e or CAT6 cables to get the best speeds between your other LAN PCs. Your network is only as fast as the slowest device... or "weakest link".

So this is more of a corporate unmanaged switch than the one you've listed. The status lights are on the front by the Ethernet cables and the power is on the rear. The layout is exactly the same as this, though without the PoE functionality. Cisco SYSTEMS 8-Port Gigabit (SG100D-08P-NA) If you're looking for a reliable unmanaged switch, this is a good option. It's been very stable for me so far.

Yes, but you'll only get gigabit speeds (i.e. Cat5e speeds), and the shielding will not be grounded.

No this is not a gigabit router, Mark. Just 10/100. There are a lot of things we need to consider before we can recommend a router. It's better if you check this out: http://goo.gl/ReUk4e

I have one connected to a Netgear switch(GS605NA) and it works flawlessly. It will potentially run slowly(if all ports are in use) at times.

This Ethernet unit is 10/100Mbps so fastest is 100Mbps. If you plug this or any USB 3.0 to a USB 2.0 port, it will default to USB 2.0 speed.

Should work fine. The only difference is cat5e will work up to 1 gigabit system and cat6 will work up to 10 gigabit system. They both connect the same way.

Well, I am using it to cat 6 plugs and cables and works but i did not fully test it on gigabit switch, but for phone links i guess this will work.

It is a passive switch. The only thing this unit does is to provide power via POE.

So far I have tested several lengths up to and including 100 feet and it worked fine. The standard CAT5E length for Ethernet of 100 meters is slightly more than 300 feet. If the user wants to wait until Monday for an answer, I think I have a spool longer than that on which I can install ends and test. Meanwhile, I would suggest using a stronger new 9-volt dry cell.

It should because it supports 10 and 100 Mb Ethernet. I use it to support two separate VOIP phone lines downstream from a router.

This unit does not have Ethernet. It has surge protection for an RJ-45 port, but it has no native ability to communicate with a network. There is an optional SNMP management daughter card you can buy, but whether it can communicate at 1000Base-T I couldn't say. Whether the bult-in RJ-45 port can provide protection for a gigabit connection or not - or Ethernet at all, I can't tell for sure. In one section of the manual it says "DSL/ Phone/ Fax/ Modem Protection", in another it says "Communication protection ports will protect any standard modem, fax, telephone line, or network cable". That's hardly definitive. If you're concerned it will filter Ethernet signals out as "noise" then I'd definitely call them.

It should not make it slower if you plug in three or four ethernet cables. However, it doesn't matter what brand router switch you buy, the overall internet speed will decrease because you're using up bandwidth from your provider.

No, all ports will negotiate to the fast speed each device can handle ex; two gigabit PCs on this switch can communicate with each other at gigabit speed, however if your router is only Fast Ethernet (100 megabit) then the switch and router will talk at the slower 100 megabit speed.No cables are supplied with the switch, you will need to buy those separately.

Caveat, I am only using WiFi, but according to the Quick Installation Guide, the RJ45 supports Gigabit Ethernet.
