Advice used enterprise switch for POE cameras and wifi ACs

[Alitech]

I have a bit of a wish list and I am totally clueless on which things to pay attention to.


I intend to use the switch for 4 PCs, 9 POE cameras, 3 wifi ACs and loads of wired peripherals such as smart light hubs, automation hubs etc. I'd like to go for 48 ports to ensure I dont need to worry about upgrading anytime soon.

On ebay, I can see a hundred options, of which I am not sure what to pick.


Here is the wishlist.


1. 48 ports

2. Gigabit

3. POE+

4. Manageable depth as I will wall mount it facing the ports downward (some are super deep)

5. 803.2at high power for the ACs

6. Managed

7. a couple of 10GB ports (not sfp) would be a nice to have

8. Not hugely power hungry with multiple PSUs and fans blasting away (apart from the actual POE draw)



Any ideas on which older enterprise data center stuff I should consider? Anything I should look out for? I am not fussed about brands

Your list is mostly doable with the ICX6450-48P. The depth is about 15 inches so that should fall under "manageable". The 10gb ports are sfp+, but adapters are relatively cheap and to get 10gb copper on a switch meeting all the other requirements means increasing the price several times over.

Currently you can get these for well under $200

The thread linked below has a ton of good information on this line of switches. Do some reading before pulling the trigger, but these are certainly the go to switches on STH currently.

This is exactly what I was looking for thanks a lot. I just purchased ICX6450-48P on ebay in the UK for £130. Cant wait to give it a try
