" ... I have been using Ubiquiti products for quite a long time but the UniFi switches are something I'm just getting into for my home and a couple smaller work sites. ... I mainly deal with HP 2920 series PoE switches at work, which are excellent and support is very good. ... 8 Port 12W - a great little unit, especially in my case where I have larger PoE switches deployed. ... At home my office has a single network port, so I'm using this with the POE passthough to a Hikvision cube camera. ... Full rack sized with 16 ports. ... I don't have any experience with the 48 Port models but given their port density and higher wattage I can go out on a limb and say they are fairly loud as well. ... "
