16 port switch rec

[kickstart24]

Looking for an gigabit unmanaged switch to power 14 cameras and connect to a blue iris PC. Rack mountable and fan less.

Not sure this exists.

 

[Flintstone61]

maybe check the Netgear Poe switches, although you might need a rack adapter if its not the standard size.

The no fan requirement might be a bit tricky due to most rackmount gear comes with fans.

Is there a reason you don't want a fan?

TP Link do a range of good quality switches.

Never heard of it before now but it sounds like a potentially useful thing.

On the other hand if you have a device that is being rebooted frequently you may not realise that it actually has issues.

Anyone with thoughts/experience with these kind of switches from Amazon?

Why would you buy some random no name brand product that can't even provide easily readable information relating to the performance of the switch?

Data Transfer Rate: ‎1E+3 Megabits Per Second

Just say gigabit.

A switch is the last place you should try to save few pennies. Avoid no name switches.
Stick with;
Netgear pro safe models
Tplink
Cisco
Ubiquiti
You want a gigabyte switch.

do you think 115W poe power budget is okay for 14 cameras? 13 5442 ZE and 1 doorbell cam. Alternatively I can do 183W power budget, but the power supply is larger and may be harder to get into my rack

That's cutting it very close to the ragged edge. Basically your power budget is about 8W per camera under those parameters (115/14): fine in the daytime(3-4 W per camera), but right at the limit at night if using the on-board IR lighting (about 8W per camera). I wouldn't run it that close to maximum spec, better to use the 183W switch to give some "breathing room".

Probably the Cisco Sg300-28pp 180watt Poe+ switch
