Small POE Switch

[dave.81]

I am looking at buying a handful of HP ProCurve 10ag AP and with them having the option of POE would be a lot easier than running new power cables to the locations.

Is there a good, cheap, small POE to stick in the cabinets to run the AP off of? We are replacing all our cabinets switchs this summer with HP ProCurve stuff but cannot afford POE in everyone i dont think so will have to use this work around.

HP 2600-pwr-08 8 port poe switch or just use poe injectors with them?

3Com ones are about £6.

POE injectors? What be these wonderful things?

Netgear do the FS108P which is an 8 port switch with 4 PoE ports. Is approx £60.00.

Or just buy some PoE injectors.

Amazon.co.uk: 3Com Network Jack Singleport Power-over-Ethernet Midspan Solution - Power injector ( external ): 3Com: Electronics & Photo

I bought these from European Electronique.

The POE do look like a good option, will keep the pricing a lot lower than a switch.

Thanks peeps
