⚙️ Practical Insights
- Cooling & Noise:
The PoE version includes active cooling fans, but noise is moderate. A Redditor noted it “is virtually the same” and “you’d have to put your ear to it” to hear it.
✅ Use‑Case Recommendations
- Non‑PoE model: Ideal for high-throughput aggregation or backbone switching in silent environments.
- PoE model: Perfect for large deployments needing to power numerous APs, cameras, VoIP phones, etc., with a hefty 720 W output.
