TP-Link SG2210XMP-M2: fanless 2.5G PoE+ for two APs
Closet-sane PoE. Desktop or wall, fanless, eight 2.5G PoE+ ports and two 10G SFP+ cages. Review this instead of the 2-fan 240 W 1U box.
8× 2.5G PoE+ (30 W), 160 W budget, 2× 10G SFP+, Omada smart. External 53.5 V / 3.37 A adapter. Max 180.1 W with 160 W PD. 226 × 131 × 35 mm. We have not burned a unit in; the pitch is the missing fans, not a lab log.
Amazon ASIN B0D5Z3NMG9. pricehistory.app current $249.99 (lowest $224.99 on 18 Jul 2026; average $302). Provantage $249.99. Ace Peripherals $429–$446 is a high 3P — do not quote as street. Loud sibling: XMP vs HP. Five-port PoE++: TL-SG105PP-M2.

Skip
Skip SG3210XHP-M2 as the closet default (1U, 2 fans, 240 W, Amazon $419.99). Skip 24-port multi-gig PoE racks. Skip SODOLA PoE toys. Skip this brick if you have no PoE load — buy data-only from the 8-port roundup. 1G two-AP path is still cheap PoE.
