Mine was to create an audio endpoint with PoE so I could run a single cable to it (Ethernet) and a single cable out of it (USB). The simplicity is what I want out of this device. I have Sonore Rendu devices for everything else. I run a Cisco 2960 switch via poE (from another Cisco 2960 that supplies the power) and it was a subtle upgrade over just the main Cisco switch. The poE switch only carries audio traffic. Worth the $50 or so I paid for a used one.
