Correct Switch - Ports - POE - Fiber

NETGEAR ProSAFE GS728T 24-Port Gigabit PoE Smart Managed Switch with 8 PoE+ Ports 192w (GS728TP-100NAS)

 

My Needs:

16-24 ports

at least 6 POE

at least 2 Fiber Optic

 

this will be used as central switch for three other buildings (2 via Fiber, 1 via copper);  using access points in ceiling that run over POE; have 6 APs.

 

Is this a good choice?   The connector type is looking like LC.  

 

Thanks.

    Hello GaACETech, 

     

     

    Welcome to the community! 

     

    Based on your needs, it appears that it is a good model. It has 4 SFP ports for fiber connection, 24 PoE ports and also a gigabit switch. So I'll say this would fit your needs. As a central switch, will you do all the routing on this switch? Do you have a dedicated DHCP server or router connected to it? 

     

    Looking forward to your response. 

     

    Thanks,
