Not PoE+ so no autonegotiation. I'll never fuck with passive poe switches again it is such a headache.
Do you really need 48 ports? That things gonna consume a lot of power even while idle.
What is the autonegociation you're talking about here ? I never owned a POE switch, I, of course, don't need all the port, it was the cheapest POE switch I could find near me, everything else is like 250€ or more, or 150 for unmanagable. It won't be ON often for the moment, I just wanted a POE switch to have fun with wifi AP and in the futur IP cameras!
I wrote a big thing about what I meant but this switch seems to have 802.11af so I may be wrong. Instead here's a couple links to explain PoE better than I can

In this case the 3750G is a standards based PSE using 802.3af. It should not have any issues powering modern network equipment up to 15.4W
Yess! New community discovered! :)

That's awesome! A great switch to use for a home lab and learn IOS.
I'd say rip your ears but the G series is far quieter then the E series.
It is pretty quiet yeah, but not fanless I might try to mod it with some small noctua fans, won't be optimal but it won't run at 100% all the time, I'll put the noisy blower back if one day I buy a enclosed rack
But why?
What’s a switch for so I can feel slightly more justified when i buy one?
OP can now connect 48 Ethernet devices. So like your desktop, and uh, a sip phone, and, uhhh the other 46 things on your desk that don't have wifi.
Get two of them and a stack cable and you can have a 96 port switch.
