bargain poe+ switches?
Discussion
anyone any suggestions for a managed 8+ port poe+ switch need at least 75w
could go usw-ultra-210 at £190 but its sold out on the ui store and honestly id rather have an internal psu
or should i just go for the USW-Pro-Max-16-PoE at £382 it would be a better core switch but really its overkill i dont need 10G SFP support or 2.5Gb ports though but it is layer 3 so does support network isolation
and intervlan routing on the switch
any other suggestions

HPE Networking Instant On 1930 8G PoE 2SFP 124W Switch (JL681A)
Just over £200.
HPE don't tend to use PoE+ in their specs, but these are Class 4 PoE with 30W per port output and 802.1at compliant so they are PoE+ in reality.
Limited Lifetime Warranty on these is major selling point - if this goes pop in 5 years time you just go on the HPE support portal and they'll ship you a replacement, usually next day.

I assume a used first gen one?
I'm wondering if I bother with a Poe switch use Poe injectors instead then I can turn them off easily. I could turn the individual ports off but don't think I could automate that
No, brand new, never been powered on. No idea of the gen. It doesn't have the touch screen, which I assume is gen 2.

I've just purchased a Brocade 7250 48P from EBAY, 48 gig ethernet ports all poe capable, as well as 8 sfp+ ports.
They also have a fanless 7150 C12P, 12 ethernet, 2 sfp+, it also has poe but a max 124 watts irc, the 7250 48p has something like 740 watts available.
These really need updating software wise once received and are more text based, however alot of information is available, I guess it depends if you want unify easiness or are happy to have a bit of geek fun.
Of course if you just want everything on the same network a simple reset and upgrade and it should work plug and play if you don't want advanced features.
The 48port is £109.99 and you will need a usb/serial cable/rj45 adapter and mini usb to rj45 for the 7250 side. I made one with an adapter and a £1 usb cable to connect to the rest.
The seller often has offers, I have an offer on the C12P at 30% off £139.99 instead of £200, only 3 of those though iirc, ebay seem to have a 15% off code which could possible bring it down further.
I think the 48P was reduced to £88 with an offer when I purchased, they have almost 200 left for sale,so if your interested, just pop it on your watchlist and in your basket then wait a couple of days, see if they make you an offer.

Will check them out. Cli is fine. Only issue with stuff likr that is idle powerdraw! Also considering the Cisco 1200 series
20watts for the C12P idle, 157watts max with 124 watts POE and 100% processor load.Spec sheet for the 7150 series here https://www.commscope.com/globalassets/digizuite/6... .
7250 48P circa 66W idle no POE load, 84W at 10% usage with full POE load (+740watts) 96watts +740W POE at 100% traffic and full poe load.
Spec here https://people.ucsc.edu/~warner/Bufs/brocade-icx-7...
One of the differences is the C12P is fanless, the 48P has 3 fans which uses more power although can apparently work with only one but obviously is hotter and probably noisier having to work harder to cool however It's also reasuringly heavy. You get 8 sfp+ against 2 on the smaller unit which may or may not be useful.
