So the following are available on Facebook marketplace from a local
seller but I don't know much about Cisco products. I tried googling
each model and reading about them each but I'm not really seeing the
differences. I just need a 48 port gigabit rack mount switch with poe.
Which of these would you guys recommend?
Catalyst 2960-X Series 48 /$100
Catalyst 3560 Series PoE 48 /$50
Catalyst 3750 Series PoE 48 /$50
Catalyst 3750G Series PoE 48 /$50
Catalyst 3750 Series 48 /$50
SG 200-50 Port Gigabit Smart Switch /$50
Cisco 3925/k9 /$50
Cisco Nexus 5010 /$100

Thank you all!!!!

Try /r/HomeNetworking /r/Homelab instead.

2960-x is the newest.

You’ll want to make sure you get Poe+ for things that may need 30w vs
15w.

Oh and the 2960x isn’t a l3 switch, but the profile can be changed so
you have simple static routing.  Plus I think it has some power saving
features???

Otherwise the 3750g is gigabit.  Others probably aren’t.

That smart switch may fit you if you don’t want to learn the cli

The 3925 is probably a router?

The nexus may be too loud for home or office use.
