So... what are you guys using for PoE gear at your PoPs and various places where PoE is required?

Having smart capabilities (i.e. remote control over power) is obviously a must.

I have had my eyes on this product:

Also, in the case of a single PoE device, do you guys use the out-of-the-box PoE device? What I've seen so far from Mikrotik does not seem to provide much protection.

What do you guys think?

When I needed managed PoE, I used Ubiquiti's ToughSwitch PoE Pro. They were quite good, but used to freeze once in a while. As far as I remember, they were also not fully transparent for GRE.

Out-of-the-box PoE? Used them many times. Never analyzed whether the devices which broke down did it because of some overvoltage or anything electrical.

What about smart UPS gear recommendations?

What's tried and proven?
