PoE-Powered Managed 8-Port Switch NEEDED

Andrew Mieczkowski
Pakedge used to have the SX-8-EP, which was a small form factor PoE-powered managed switch. This was a very powerful tool and allowed us to have the benefits of a managed switch away from the central rack, and also able to be power cycled via PoE without being reliant on the room's WattBox. This is a sorely missed product and very much needed. Please make an Araknis version of the Pakedge SX-8-EP.

Hi Andrew, thanks for the feedback. We are evaluating how we can improve our compact switch product lines to offer great solutions for instances such as this.

We use the Cisco CBS250-8T-D. It works perfectly and is pretty easy to setup.

Thanks for the tip! Not OvrC-enabled and not sold through the SnapAV, MRI, or ADI family and defeats the Snap one-stop shop model. Hmmm. I wonder if I should just buy all the networking stuff elsewhere??? ;) Just kidding! Would really prefer SnapAV (who bought Pakedge) make an Araknis equivalent of the SX-8-EP. Seems like a no brainer and a super useful tool to have in the OvrC family.
