8 port non powered gigabit switch does such a thing exist

[Glasgowrob]

looking for a 8 port gigabit switch that can be powered via POE rather than a plug in unit. (mounting a switch in either the airing cupboard or loft with no power supply.


any suggestions?

I'm not sure if it exists, but you might find a standard switch runs off 12v, in which case you can buy active PoE splitters which take the 48v in from the ethernet cable and give you a DC connector output.

Something like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/ethernet-Splitter-Adapter...

Your problem might be if you need PoE downstream of the switch, as it couldn't be an injector

No Poe required upstairs just good old fashioned gigabit networking

Netgear have one:

Although you lose a port because one of the eight is the POE uplink.

The reviews say this one can run off the POE in port:

There are a few five port options:

You can actually daisy chain two PoE devices with the right equipment . I have a Ubiquiti 8 port switch which is PoE powered and provides a powered downstream port. The limitation is that the switch needs to draw at the higher output 25w 802.at in order to power itself whilst providing only a 15w 802.af downstream port but this still allows to you power a switch and an access point off a single PoE link.
