Looking for managed switch with POE, 10GbE and more than 10 ports (ideally 24) (alien.top)

I don't know why this is such a hard combo to meet, but I can't seem to find anything that suits. I assume there's enterprise gear that would meet these points, but I'm not sure where to start.

POE is for running a half dozen POE cameras, 3x WIFI6 WAPs, Home Assistant Yellow. I could get away with running a separate POE switch if not for the WAPs (looking at the TP-Link AX11000's which are 10GbE). I could buy a UniFi XG 6 POE for just the WAPs and use another regular POE switch to give me enough ports, but that's just getting messy.

The ideal is to have a high density 10GbE managed switch that I can use for both my regular gear and POE gear (I have 20 ports to connect out to plus gear I might run in the rack). If the Unifi XG Enterprise had POE it would be perfect.

Brocade 6610-48p can be had for about $60 + shipping on eBay

  • 8 10g SFP+ ports
  • 4 40g QSFP ports (2 of those can be broken out into an additional 8 10g SFP+ ports for 16 10g ports in total)
  • 48 1g PoE+ ports

They are EOL and server the home has provided all the firmware and licensing for them for free.

$370 (Australian dollars) + another $370 aud shipping... sigh, and that's the cheapest...

Do they even make PoE+ injectors that support 10GbE? If they do realistically I can just go with my original plan of the Ubiquiti XG Enterprise or something like that (tho I do also have concerns about their gear failing immediately out of warranty based on some anecdotal experiences some of my coworkers/friends have had)

There are 10Gbps PoE Injectors available, I have here a Modell from Digitus.

Way too loud if you don't butcher it and do a fan mod. Those are datacenter switches. Got mine yesterday as a core for smaller lan parties. Great hardware, very solid and I love it. Especially for the price of around 200 bucks with two psus and one additional fan. But it never will run in my house for regular operation. The 6450s on the other hand ...

Mine is pretty darn quiet 🤷‍♂️

Actually it's quieter than my hp procurve and my Plex server.

You'll want to make sure the 6610 is flashed, configured and running both power supplies. Out of the box it runs at max speed without configuration and if it's missing a PSU it will max the PSU fan to keep the internals cool.

Strange. Running it exactly like that. Any ressource for tweaking with the fan config?

Run "dm fan"

Here's mine

  • FRU 1 Fan 1 Speed at 5793 RPM.

Amazing, thank you. But how do I set values for it?
