Network Switch Recommendation

[MatthewL]

I need 5 port minimum, 2 POE ports for Unifi AP's switch, any recommendations?

 

Needs to be managed if cost isn't through the roof, rack mount if possible or I can buy a shelf for use at home.

 

Seen a Ubiquiti one or the NETGEAR GS110TP (presume POE compatiable with the AP's).

 

Cheers

UniFi toughswitch would do the job! Not rack mountable but fairly small so can stick ontop of a switch easy enough

Check the PoE Mikrotik our for 5 ports. Can even be powered them selves over PoE (although in my experience doesn’t work well for more than than 1 AP that way)

Powering the switch isn't an issue, just need one that will do the job. On looking back it's going to have to be 8 ports due to what needs to be plugged in, with an odd port spare for future expansion.

 

Would the Netgear one above power my Unifi without an issues, I see all these different PoE standards and I'm a bit lost with it now.

Which UniFi APs are they?

[XiJ]

It will if your AP’s are 48v models (released in the last year or so). Older ones are 24v only.

 

I would personally go Mikrotik or ubiquiti Toughswitch. Better quality than the netgear. Better UI for managing too

UAP-AC-PRO I am looking at using. Fair play will tkae a gander at them.

I have a Unifi ap-ac-pro here at home with a https://www.broadbandbuyer.com/products/27724-ubiquiti-us-8-60w/ single pane interface with the Unifi software
