Focus on rack-mounted, unmanaged switches without L2 and higher-end models. Avoid pricey options. Need suggestions for PoE switches suited for a VoIP system while keeping data equipment separate.

Another discussion thread could be helpful. It covers Ethernet, while phone topics were covered earlier. The title included "60 year old house" and a participant was @TechTippee.

Avoid using them. Opt for a smart switch with loop protection. Otherwise, when cables connect to two wall ports, a loop forms and you’ll need to check every walljack in the building. Real-world insight.

Well, if it's not managed, there really isn't much value in picking one brand over another. They should all be quite similar.
