| Mar 2, 2017 at 17:31 | comment | added | Ecnerwal | The only real advantage I see to POE over injector-bricks (I use both) is that it does offer the ability to power-cycle a misbehaving device without having to make a physical visit to the location of the injector, assuming you can get to the management access of the switch. Folks with a neatnik bent complain about the clutter of having POE bricks, but it's easily managed. For the most part POE switches are still carrying a prohibitively high price-tag, IMHO. | |
| Mar 2, 2017 at 17:21 | comment | added | user34833 | Thanks for noticing that. I have about 10 POE devices that each have their own power supply. I'm weighing options between SFP+, POE, and price. Price is certainly the most important at this point. POE vs SFP+ is what I'm running into right now. Let me know if you have any suggestions for all three options. Otherwise, I think I'll take SFP+ over POE | |
| Mar 1, 2017 at 22:51 | comment | added | Ecnerwal | I thought you wanted a POE switch? That does not appear to be POE, though it certainly has many ports (which your diagram is not showing me you actually need) and is cheap. | |
| Mar 1, 2017 at 21:05 | comment | added | user34833 | Thanks! I'm thinking of re-choosing my switches to the Quanta LB4M. They have SFP+, which can operate at 10Gb. I think what I'll do is run 6a from each switch, and fiber between switches. Any other suggestions? | |
