Switch alimentary avec 16 ports alimentés par PoE
I almost missed this entirely… it seems to cover everything, but I’ll need a solid choice for power because passive PoE adds extra complexity. It’s a good beginning, though—it’s surprisingly budget-friendly. https://mikrotik.com/product/CSS326-24G-2SplusRM
i was evaluating a configuration using mikrotik PoE powered switches. initially, the pricing seemed reasonable. however, when searching for equipment capable of handling 24-volt passive PoE on those switches—within a sufficient power budget for eight units—the cost increased significantly. ultimately, i opted for a mix of TP-link 16-port dumb switches, external 12V power supplies, TP-link PoE splitters, and a TP-link PoE+ switch with ample power capacity. this solution was more affordable than a passive PoE switch for the mikrotik components. additionally, it became clear that any issues with the hardware would be manageable since i’m the only one skilled at troubleshooting them, unlike most colleagues who rely on quick fixes. using a single brand for switches and splitters also added to my confidence.
