Chris, I know how you're such a sensitive soul... so don't take this as criticism... :)

I just got my hands on a RouterBOARD PowerBOX -- and I must say... wow!

It's powered by PoE *AND* has 5 ports on it *AND* it's an all in one solution in an enclosure.

Any chance we could see something like that as a make over for the WS-6-MINI? The WS-6-MINI has been great at microsites... but the idea of being able to just use one little box (minor add - a tab for a lock would be great!) would be awesome.

Since mini can be outdoor with enc-sw-8x5 enclosure, what the idea ? Add router fonctionnality to the mini ?
Anyway, you need a box for UPS so could install a small cheap Milrotik in this box like the hEX lite that have better fowarding capacity than powerbox.

No... please no... no router functionality in a switch.

Just the fact that it's a very very neat all in one little solution.

That makes it pretty much the same thing as an all in one except you have a choice in whether you use that of a different NEMA cabinet.

Also, the MINI can do 48V and 48VH.

Some folks however want the 30V input capability for connecting to unconditioned 24V whereas the MINI needs a higher voltage.
