Head to head
Flex 2.5G 8 vs Flex 2.5G 8 PoE.
Identical 2.5 GbE port layout; the question is whether the switch powers your devices or just connects them. The PoE model costs more and sells out faster because it is the natural companion for WiFi 7 APs and cameras. If everything you are plugging in has its own power, keep the difference in your pocket.
