Okay, let's break down PoE powered switches for an attic setup, including options for 4 and 8 ports, and talk about daisy-chaining. There are a *lot* of options, so I'll focus on generally well-regarded brands and models that balance price, features, and reliability. I'll also highlight things to consider for an attic environment. **Important Considerations for Attic Installation:** * **Temperature:** Attics get *hot*. Make sure the switch you choose is rated for a high operating temperature. Many standard switches are only rated for 0-40°C (32-104°F). Look for a wider temperature range, ideally 0-50°C (32-122°F) or even higher if your attic gets intensely hot. Industrial/outdoor-rated switches are best, but more expensive. * **Ventilation:** Try to provide some airflow around the switch if possible, even if just mounting it in a slightly open area. * **Dust:** Attics can be dusty. Consider a switch that's easy to clean and doesn't have a lot of tiny crevices where dust can accu
