I don’t know why this is such a hard combo to meet, but I can’t seem to find anything that suits. I assume there’s enterprise gear that would meet these points, but I’m not sure where to start.

POE is for running a half dozen POE cameras, 3x WIFI6 WAPs, Home Assistant Yellow. I could get away with running a separate POE switch if not for the WAPs (looking at the TP-Link AX11000’s which are 10GbE). I could buy a UniFi XG 6 POE for just the WAPs and use another regular POE switch to give me enough ports, but that’s just getting messy.

The ideal is to have a high density 10GbE managed switch that I can use for both my regular gear and POE gear (I have 20 ports to connect out to plus gear I might run in the rack). If the Unifi XG Enterprise had POE it would be perfect.

    Aruba s2500 worked great for me, when mine died I changed to a brocade icx6610.

    I will say the Aruba doesn’t give you full 10 gig technically but it’s very close, the brocade switch is great though as it has 8 10 gig ports, and two qsfp, one that can be broken out into an additional 8 ports.

    It’s also a lot more cable management wise, more than I could possibly need. The s2500 was used more as a dumb switch however though.
