Can anyone recommend a commercial application Ethernet switch (non cabinet), for use with an office extension. need probably 16+ ports for PC, printers and so on.

Also can you get these with built in wifi to extend for wireless devices?

Thanks.

What do you mean "non cabinet"?
Stand alone, its its own case.

Money is not an issue.

You sure you don't want something that rack mounts? If you have the need for 16 ports then surely you have floor ports with structured cabling terminating at a patch panel in a cabinet. Managed or unmanaged? I'd keep a wireless access point out of the cabinet as it is unlikely to be in the best position for a signal.
I suppose I could put it in a cabinet, just enough for around 20 ports, is there something this small?

I already have a cabinet at capacity in the incoming area of the building, this will be around 30 meters away extending off into a new office complex.

If a wifi extender on its own is the best bet then so be it.

Not fussed about noise or location, it will be up high and out the reach of people. Dust is probably more concerning for me.
