A well-reviewed 24-port gigabit Ethernet switch from TP-Link. CamelCamelCamel alert this opening suggests it's the lowest price yet, hurrah.
Should be great for actually connecting up the new Ethernet ports I've put in everywhere...

Problem is, gig + PoE + managed = expensive. TBH any two of those three would be quite pricey. Unrealistic to expect such a device for 60 notes, especially a 24-porter.

Nope. But that's the way home networking is going.

Not a bad price but if I'd just wired my home, I think I'd be putting a poe switch in to power access points and cameras.

Yeah, totally cold...if you know you could post your managed 24 bit switch that we are saying this is cold against...that would be great. You know otherwise you look well a bit of a berk....

Deffo cold. Exactly why is that? Can you find another 24 port switch for less?
i don't expect you to reply as I suspect you can't justify your claims...will be delighted to be proven wrong.

you are quite right. the only way you would see that on hot deals would be somebody gloating that they had taken advantage of a pricing error before they had it delivered, then all hot deals users ordering hundreds of them at that price, and the company realising and cancelling all the orders, including the smug get who posted it in the first place :wink:

I guess it depends on number of PoE cameras/etc but might be cheaper with a normal switch + PoE injectors where required.
This is just a thought and I've not done the sums yet!

Although to be fair it wouldn't surprise me all that much if a gig PoE 24-port smart-switch became available for £100 at some point. As a network engineer (who is used to deploying solutions on big Cisco datacentre switches worth tens, if not hundreds of thousands of pounds) it has amazed me how what were once premium features are now available for a couple of hundred quid. Such is the power of commodity ASICs and Linux-based OSs I guess :smiley:
