You should consider a switch designed for high temperatures. Texas summers can be very hot, so look for models rated for warm environments.

Many advanced network switches handle some level of heat well, what port count are you seeking, and what additional specifications matter?

Only a few ports needed, not much size. And I’m going for the budget option.

I prefer this one: https://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-5-Port-Gi...55&sr=8-11 It has worked well for several years.

That's a classic choice from around 2004. It's quite the nostalgic pick!

It's completely unbreakable. It withstood a flood in our basement. While not the quickest, it's dependable.

It's only suitable for temperatures between 0° and 40°C (32° and 104°F). It seems no product is built for a hot attic.

Outdoor gear would be suited for the most probable scenario. However, the expense would be significant.

Ubiquiti ToughSwitch series includes the Industrial Switch MikroTik RB260GS from Trendnet. This model can be installed in ducts with central air systems for enhanced cooling.
