      At a huge hog farm that I service. I used the Ubiquiti ToughSwitches. They stand up to the heat and the cold with no issues. I have them in hermetically sealed boxes. No air or water can get in, just the nature of the business, with all the ammonia from the poo and urine if left out the switches would corrode, and then they bring in water pressure jets to clean out the pig areas on a regular basis. I haven't had any fail in the three years they have been in.

      Now that's what I would call a harsh environment 😉 Thank you, I've already had a quick look on them.

      They will do POE as well.

        You could put in low cost EdgeSwitcheLite (the non PoE version)

        That's the idea. I don't have much need for PoE except for a few APs which will be powered with injectors.

        Looks like the ES Lite is only in the 24 and 48 port variety..

        I already have a bunch of ES-48-LITE in production. Great switches for the money.

          The ES8 nd ES12 with PoE may work. if you turn all the PoE off onthe ports, I bet it run cooler.

            I've just ordered an ES-8, will check that. ES12? Do you mean the 12F?

                  I installed a few of the wall racks with filters on the bottom and fans on top for exhaust like the ones Jared mentioned. Don't remember the brand or price. The equipment stayed very clean and cool. Hard part is remembering to change/clean the filters regularly depending on the environment.

                    That is what calendar events are for.
