I guess that you are looking exclusively at switches to do power management for you, so this maybe just a distraction. There are also multiport POE injectors like these ones: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01JHXX066/ref=sspa_dk_detail_0?psc=1&pd_rd_i =B01JHXX066&pd_rd_w=TNjxv&pf_rd_p=d533dd31-f352-432f-87d0- ace6fec162b4&pd_rd_wg=SD5uh&pf_rd_r=SXKQWKK2G3JT2PMD4K0D&pd_rd_r=7c5008 cd-189c-4572-9051- 69dc138fadb1&s=pc&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUE5MTlCSjk5RE5MOVQmZW5j cnlwdGVkSWQ9QTEwMTU1MTAxQUc4V1lWRTE1SVBIJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA2ODExNTV BQVIxVVQyVFY3UDQmd2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9kZXRhaWxfdGhlbWF0aWMmYWN0aW9uPWNsaW NrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IODMBRY/ref=sspa_dk_detail_2?psc=1&pd_rd_i =B01IODMBRY&pd_rd_w=TNjxv&pf_rd_p=d533dd31-f352-432f-87d0- ace6fec162b4&pd_rd_wg=SD5uh&pf_rd_r=SXKQWKK2G3JT2PMD4K0D&pd_rd_r=7c5008 cd-189c-4572-9051- 69dc138fadb1&s=pc&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUE5MTlCSjk5RE5MOVQmZW5j cnlwdGVkSWQ9QTEwMTU1MTAxQUc4V1lWRTE1SVBIJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTAzOTA5MDA zSzBMMExWOTYwNkdCJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfZGV0YWlsX3RoZW1hdGljJmFjdGlvbj1jbG lja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ== I would not bet on perpetual POE to trickle down - it feels like "kind of" niche to have POE with the switch not switching. -T
