The 6450 runs to around 25w for 24 ports, 50w for 48. The PoE model will be a bit noisier out of the box than the non-PoE, but fan swapping is fairly easy. I'm quite happy with mine.
Sounds like a 24port none poe is the one for me then! Thats only 10w more than the mikrotik
its a great switch, I have found nothing else out there to replace mine.
I did the dumb. I'm now looking to replace my non-PoE with a PoE to get rid of some injectors (I refuse to have more than one switch in an 18u rack).
me either, I ended up with 5 cameras and 4 AP's.
No risk of dying after a year either, they cost a couple of grand when they were new and they're built like tanks. If the noise of the stock fan gets to you the Sunon Maglev KDE1204PKV3 is a good replacement. You need to pop out the two outside pins and swap them because the switch uses a non-standard pinout, but that takes about 30 seconds.
Brocades definitely have a risk of dying after a year, I've got 2 6450s with about a dozen ports that only negotiate 100M now. Still nice switches though.
