What the manufacturer states
These are the maker's own listing bullets, kept as the citable source for the specifications above rather than paraphrased into claims we cannot attribute.
- GIGABIT ETHERNET PORTS: Features 8 x 1.0Gbps Ethernet ports for high-speed connectivity. Auto-negotiating ports detect the optimal speed for connected devices and work with existing Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cables.
- POWER-OVER-ETHERNET (PoE): Includes 8 PoE+ ports with 83W total power budget, plus dynamic PoE allocation that redistributes unused power to support power-hungry devices.
- PLUG-AND-PLAY UNMANAGED NETWORK SWITCH: Simple plug-and-play setup with no software to install or configuration required.
- FLEXIBLE MOUNTING OPTIONS: Compact metal design supports desktop or wall-mount placement for versatile installation.

Common questions
How far can the NETGEAR 8-Port PoE Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Network Switch GS308PP identify someone?
NETGEAR does not publish both a sensor resolution and a focal length for this product, and DORI distance cannot be derived without both. Rather than estimate one, this sheet leaves it out. If you have the manufacturer datasheet to hand, the DORI calculator on this site works the distance out from those two figures directly.
What is the infrared range of the NETGEAR 8-Port PoE Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Network Switch GS308PP?
NETGEAR does not publish an infrared range for this product, so this site does not state one. An invented figure would be worse than no figure, because a reader would plan a camera position around it. Where a maker does publish a range, treat it as the distance its own lamp reaches in ideal conditions rather than the distance at which a face stays identifiable.
What specifications does NETGEAR publish for this product?
PoE ports: 8, PoE budget: 83 W, PoE standard: 802.3af/at. Everything in the table on this page is taken from the manufacturer listing rather than measured by us. Any row shown as not published is a figure this maker does not state, and this site will not fill that gap with an estimate.
Is the NETGEAR 8-Port PoE Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Network Switch GS308PP worth buying?
An 83 W budget across eight PoE ports, which carries six to eight class 3 cameras with the headroom that stops a switch shutting a port down on a cold night when the heaters run. This site does not test products in person, so that assessment comes from the published specifications, the applicable standards and verified owner reports rather than from hands-on trials we did not run. Prices change often, so check the current listing before deciding.

Work out whether it fits
Specifications are published figures, not measurements we took. This site does not test products in person. Where a maker does not publish a figure, such as a true infrared range or a low light rating, this page says it is not published rather than estimating one, because a reader planning a camera position around an invented number is the worst outcome this site could produce.
