I needed to run power to two Nest Cam IQ Outdoor cameras that normally use a standard indoor plug via a USB-C adapter. I didn't have outlets anywhere near where I was mounting the cameras, so I dropped some Ethernet runs up from my PoE switch to convenient hidden locations. These GAT-USBC converters work perfectly to go from PoE to USB-C to power the camera. It really couldn't have been any easier.
I work not too far from the Texas-Wifi offices, if I ever see them around, I'd buy them a round for helping solve my problem..
Most importantly, it works as advertised. Despite the pictures listed with the product, the two I received came with USB C power output, not a barrel plug. My POE+ Netgear switch picked it up immediately, no strange power on order. In regards to Google WiFi, if you wall mount the AP, the PoE converter will fit through a hole cut out to a size less than half the back side of the Google access point; everything but the AP hides in the wall with no exposed wires.
Works well so far-- haven't had them installed for very long. Works great powering some 28W devices.
Wish they were a bit more sleek, and the plastic cover feels cheap, but honestly, they work... hoping they prove reliable long term!
Used it for a small PC that expects a supply capable of 12V @ 2A. The port negotiated 1Gb/s and performed at 111MB/s over HTTP. On the switch I was able to draw ~21W at high load. I'd like to be able to push it higher to test but I maxed out what my machine will draw. I'm quite content as I've tested adapters made by others that didn't live up to their specs but this adapter seems to perform as specified. Didn't even get that warm.
Works great. Powering my Ring Alarm Base Station with which I will eventually ceiling mount. I only wish it came with a 2.1mm to 2.1mm cable so I didn't have to buy it separately. I might use another, usb one to replace the 24v to usb converter I'm doing for my rescesed ceiling mount Google home mini's

Works as expected, using with Amazon basics usb-c cable to power eero units (this not supported by eero FYI)
I bought these to power my Nest outdoor IQ cameras. I'm providing power with my ZyXEL POE switch (GS1900-8HP).
I bought this to extend the power cable of my Nest Cam Outdoor IQ. Works great. Make sure you use a PoE+ (802.3at) capable switch.
This product seems pricey to me, but it does what it is supposed to. I am using it to power a Nest Cam IQ Outdoor
This works great with my Google Wifi APs.
