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

I would always prefer to support anyone besides Amazon, but if buying from Newegg gives you 2 years less warranty, that's a bummer.
Hope that helps.
