It is metal and it does not have any fans. It runs silent and stays cool.
I have 4 IP CAMs, 1 smart doorbell and 1 tablet connected to it without any problem. The tablet is using POE to keep itself charged. The power draw on each of the 6 ports w/ POE devices connected ranges from 2 watts - 8 watts.
When powered up with nothing connected it draws only 3 watts, so it is very power efficient.
In contrast, the 8-port POE switch that I was using before this one draws 9-watts at idle, has a fan that I upgraded because the stock fan was too loud and ran warmer than this one does.
You can power cycle the individual POE ports from the switch's management console -- a very helpful feature.
I was thinking about ordering a second one and when I saw the $40 price, so I jumped on it.
Hope this helps.

metal on the other hand will allow the device to cool
it's why heatsinks are made of metal and not plastic

This switch is POE+, so it is capable of supplying up to 30 watts to each port, up to a maximum of ~60 watts across all powered ports. All 6 of my devices, including the 4 CAMs and the smart doorbell with a built in CAM have been stable since I installed it about 3-weeks ago.
I double-checked the power draw. The 5 devices with cameras draw just under 4 watts during the day. At night, when their "night vision" LEDs come on they draw 5-8 watts each. The wall-mounted tablet is drawing under a watt right now, but probably goes up when it is used. According to the specs, the maximum charging rate is 15 watts, so my worst-case peak power draw is around 8*5+15=55 watts.
I also ran the test of turning off the switch, waiting 30 seconds and then powering the switch back up to test how well the switch handles the "surge" when all of the POE devices power on together. No problems. I've run this test 2-3 times over the past several weeks.
Hope this helps.

I checked some other unrelated recent Amazon purchases and see the same thing - sales tax charged on full amount. I have a support ticket in with Amazon to verify they're actually getting reimbursed and thus calculating this correctly.
Newegg charged sales only on the post-discount price btw.
The build-in "AI person and vehicle" detection in the Amcrest CAM is a great feature. Very few false positives.
I capture recordings and snapshots to my QNAP NAS by using the "NAS" storage option on the CAM. I keep everything local.

Yes! They're cheap managed 5 port switches. I use them specifically for vlanning traffic so I can segregate IoT and reg network traffic.
There is no PoE output but they can be powered from PoE one port.

Great info, thanks. Do you run your own server to record footage, and are you able to access the feed remotely?
Just barely getting into POE cameras because got really tired of Wifi IP Cameras dropping network coverage when its really important to record something.
