Mikrotik RB493?
Wow. I never even thought of putting a "router" out there, but that would be pretty slick. Looks to be about $130 (plus an enclosure and power supply), which is a bit more than the tiny 8 port switches.

My only concern is whether this thing could handle 8 customers with rate limiting and everything. We have 100Mb/s into the building and will be selling connections up to at least 10Mb/s. Off to read up on it some more, thanks!
The 493AH would handle it. Also you can configure it as a bridge/switch instead of a router.

But you guys know your POE... :)

I'd found a POE-powered switch (ie: the switch itself is powered by POE, it does not provide POE to connected devices) from Linksys a year or two ago, but Cisco seems to have really trimmed down the Linky products and it no longer exists.

I've found a few passable 8 port switches that are fully managed and support VLANs and some type of rate-limiting (two features I need). However, they are not technically POE-powered switches. Power consumption on these seems to run from 10W to 15W. I'll have them from 100' to 300' from the power source. Is a homemade POE injector an option at those distances with that amount of wattage required?

Also, if anyone has recommendations outside of the usual suspects (Linksys, Netgear, SMC, D-Link) on an 8 port switch that has VLANs and rate-limiting, I'd love to hear it...

Thanks!
