Hello everyone,
I am currently planning the selection of network components for my future single-family home (approximately 200m² (2,150 sq ft)).
In this context, CAT7 cables will be installed in all rooms and centrally routed to the utility room, where they will be connected via a patch panel.
All in all, I will need a 48-port gigabit switch (preferably PoE or better PoE+).
The only question is: which model or brand, or from which manufacturer?
Do you have any experience? Can you recommend gigabit switches of this size?
Please no discussions about the size or design of the network switch.
I deliberately want to avoid local switches (for example, near the home theater wall) and connect all network cables to a corresponding wall outlet (my partner insists... theme "everything always has to look tidy" and so on...).
Thanks in advance for your input.
Best regards

Hanse987, correct. We always use the Cisco SG300 or SG500 series, with 24 or 48 ports. Cisco offers numerous PoE models. Even the "largest" switch in the SG series, the MPP, is not always sufficient. If half of the ports are already drawing full power, the switch will struggle (see PoE specifications af/at and their classes).
I’m not very familiar with the topic yet, but from what I’ve heard recently, an access point is the right approach compared to a repeater (which was recently added at my parents’ house), since repeaters apparently cut the Wi-Fi bandwidth in half. I’m not sure how else the two options differ or if this is entirely accurate. For a household, though, a basic device costing around 30 EUR per floor should be sufficient.
In our house, the router will be connected to the switch in the basement. On the ground floor and the upper floor, we have both power and LAN prepared in the hallway to install an access point on each floor.

At the moment, I am considering the ones from Ubiquiti, as I have read a lot of positive reviews about them.In my opinion, these are the best, especially the pro series. They also look quite good, particularly when powered via PoE.
