You will probably find that if you connect all of your access points to a switch that is not able to provide sufficient PoE, they will still function. Look at these if you have a rack but don’t need multi-gig, 10 Gbps SFP+, high PoE budgets, layer 3 features, or anything fancy. They are handy little switches for expanding your network or supporting a few cameras, access points, or other PoE+ devices.

PoE+, or Power over Ethernet Plus, is an extension of the PoE standard that can provide up to 30 watts of power per port.

The only other semi-similar option is the top-of-line S0F35A, which packs a lot of PoE and high-bandwidth ports into a rackmount enclosure.The Omada switches all have gibberish names with seemingly random letters and numbers, but the closest models would be the SG3210 or SG2210MP. To find out if your PoE switch is suitable for your network deployment, you add all of the maximum PoE consumptions together to ensure that the total is less than your PoE switch's maximum output.

If you bring your own firewall/gateway and are OK with relying on Aruba’s cloud software, there is a lot to like. In our opinion, it would be better to spend your money on additional access points or a good router. wired connections on up to 7 devices, a full 10GbE for 1 wired device and potentially over 2Gbps on a good quality WiFi6E client.
