Looking for recommendation for 8 port POE switch for lighting network...unmanaged?....managed?
I'm also wondering how necessary a managed switch still is? Technology has changed a lot since I started building lighting networks. Used to be about broadcast and DOS protection conflicts with unmanaged ones.
I'm looking for a small 8 port POE switch for a small network ( under 5 devices). 1/2 rack space wide or smaller. DIN mount even better.
Any pointers anyone? Anything I should avoid? Being back-to-school season, I'm noticing some supply issues, at least locally, for networking hardware.
Thanks
