Looking for: Manageable Gbit ETH switch for 10" rack (8port+SFP, with PoE)

(1/5) > >>

Yansi:
Hello,

after spending some time on the web, I am kind of thinking I must be searching for unobtanium. What I am looking for is a manageable gigabit ethernet switch, that would fit in a 10" rack. Is this very hard? No.

With 8 ports and at least one gigabit SFP. Is this hard to find? Quite.

With PoE capability on the 8 ports. Is it hard? Unobtanium!

Why 10 inch rack? a) it is a standard size. b) I have a space constrained application, that already utilizes 10" instrumentation, fitted always in pairs into a standard 19" rack. (yes, two 10" sized instruments fit exactly on a 19" shelf - look up the dimensions)

Yet every and each switch I find that woud pass the requirements is for some stupid reason in some random stupid width, that is non standard. Like 10.6", 11", 13", or whatever random number the design team came up with. 10" standard rack instrument should have the case width of about 220mm (8.7"), 10" is measured including the rack ears. See wiki: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:19_inch_vs_10_inch_rack_dimensions.svg
Two 10" instruments can be mounted on a 19" shelf next to each other.

In case you know about a device, that will pass the requirements (10" rack standard size, 8 gig ports + gig SFP and PoE) please please plaese let me know.
Regards,
Yan

TL-SG1016PE , no SFP but you can use a 1gbit fiber converter ;)

edit: didn't notice it's 12''

but this one would fit the bill nicely without breaking the bank ;)

TL-SG2210P

https://www.tp-link.com/ae/business-networking/poe-switch/tl-sg2210p/

small, 8x poe with 61W budget and it has 2x sfp.

Cisco have n variations on this, in all sorts of shapes and sizes.

That option is not what I need. No extra converters allowed.

Cisco has a lot of stuff. None 10" rack mountable as far as I can see. But I may be wrong - can you suggest a part number to look at please? I may be blind to see the forrest for the trees. I have searched also through all ebay, there are a lot of  devices that are 8+1sfp or 8+2sfp, even with PoE, but always too large to be mountable in a 10" (or as a twin into a 19").

edited my post - added this one:

TL-SG2210P

https://www.tp-link.com/ae/business-networking/poe-switch/tl-sg2210p/

it has everything, but the power budget for the PoE is small becaose of the small form factor. newer version TL-SG2210MP has a 150W budget for 8 ports but it's 12'' wide.
