Silent POE switches for truss mount

Netgear makes a 4 Port POE, switch that has 4 additional Ports non POE.  You would just have to create mounting hardware for it.  I think it list for about $100.00.

P- 

Here's one from ELC if you can work with only 5 ports:

5-port 10/100 mBit ethernet switch/splitter with Power over Ethernet supply

Specifications:

• Truss mount housing with built-in M10 nut and safety eye
• 4x 10/100BaseT ports on Neutrik Ethercon connector with PoE (Power on Ethernet) among IEEE 802.3af with auto-detection, for powering our DMX Nodes
• 1x 10/100BaseT uplink port on Neutrik Ethercon
• All ports are auto crossing MDIX (no cross cables needed)
• 5 leds indicating link when on and data presence when blinking

I have not used this product- just found it on a web search.

Thanks.

I know the netgear ones, they also do a 16 port (8 with POE) one, ani hvae previously used theese.

The netgear ones need to be build into metalboxes and they do not have XLR ethercons connectors.

Thanks tdgra

5 ports is a little too less, of cource we could put more switches on the bridge, but it takes up the ports to do the link as well.

I've not used one, but this might be interesting...

It is indeed interesting. If using in trusses, it needs to be fanless. They dont mention anything about fan at all. Will ask them the question.
