1 / 7MERCUSYS MS108GP 8-Port Gigabit PoE+ Switch
The MERCUSYS MS108GP is an 8-port Gigabit desktop PoE+ switch with seven PoE+ ports, aimed at wired networks that need power for compatible devices. Its long-range mode is specified for up to 250 m, but the listing says port speed drops to 10 Mbps in that mode.
At a glance
- Seven PoE+ ports support compatible IEEE 802.3af/at powered devices, with a stated maximum of 30 W per port.
- Extend Mode is intended to reach up to 250 m, with the listing specifying a 10 Mbps speed in that mode.
- Isolation mode separates traffic on ports 1–7, while the listing also describes port prioritisation.
- Metal casing and plug-and-play operation are claimed by the listing.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Seven PoE+ ports allow compatible devices such as surveillance cameras to receive power over Ethernet.
- All eight ports are described as Gigabit, and the stated 65 W budget offers a defined total PoE allowance.
- Extend Mode may suit long cable runs when its reduced 10 Mbps port speed is acceptable.
- Metal casing and no additional configuration requirement are specified.
Cons
- Extend Mode reduces port speed to 10 Mbps, so it is not suited to applications that need higher throughput across the extended link.

What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Listing details are inconsistent: the title and feature text describe an 8-port Gigabit switch with seven PoE+ ports and a 65 W budget, while one feature says six 10/100/1000 Mbps ports and another says 40 W for all PoE ports. The manufacturer section also refers to a 65 W budget for four PoE+ ports. Confirm the selected model's port count and PoE budget, and note that actual power and long-range distance can vary with connected devices and cable quality.

Who is it for?
A good fit for
- Small home or office networks adding wired devices and compatible PoE-powered equipment.

- Buyers who want a metal-cased desktop switch with isolation mode and no additional configuration stated.
Less suited to
- Setups that require more than 10 Mbps on a link using Extend Mode.
- Installations whose PoE power requirements depend on a precise budget until the conflicting listing figures are confirmed.

Frequently asked questions
How many ports provide PoE+?
The listing describes seven PoE+ ports, numbered 1–7. However, other listing details conflict on port and PoE specifications, so confirm the selected model details before purchase.
Does Extend Mode keep Gigabit speeds?
No. The listing says port speed in Extend Mode drops to 10 Mbps, even though standard operation is described as Gigabit.
What PoE budget should I plan for?
The listing gives conflicting figures, including a 65 W total budget and a 40 W figure. Check the selected listing or manufacturer documentation against the power needs of your devices.
What is included in the box?
The explicit contents field names the MS108GP only. The title refers to a splitter or extender, but those accessories are not confirmed in the contents list.
