Direct answer: is the NETGEAR GS308PP 8-Port Gigabit PoE+ Unmanaged Switch right for you?
An 83 W PoE budget across all eight ports is generous for the size, and it is the reason to choose this over a 16-port switch with 45 W to share.
NETGEAR GS308PP 8-Port Gigabit PoE+ Unmanaged Switch
Editorial verdict
Grounded in published specifications
Summary verdict: An 83 W PoE budget across all eight ports is generous for the size, and it is the reason to choose this over a 16-port switch with 45 W to share. It is unmanaged, so there are no VLANs, no port statistics and no way to see which device is drawing the power -- diagnosing a PoE fault means unplugging things. Fanless and metal cased, which makes it suitable for a wall bracket in a corridor rather than only a ventilated cabinet.
Who should buy this
Small camera or access point installs where the power budget matters more than management.
Who should avoid this
Anyone who will need VLANs, port statistics or remote diagnosis later.

Bought it on the numbers, and the numbers were right
I compared four of these on paper before ordering, so the line I actually checked was "PoE budget". The page says 83 W total across all ports, and that is what turned up. Fanless metal chassis suitable for wall mounting.

Posting after real use, not unboxing
Had this three months now, so this is not an unboxing opinion. Fanless metal chassis suitable for wall mounting. Still mildly irritated by one thing: Unmanaged — no VLANs, no port statistics, no remote access. Known trade-off rather than a fault, though, and I would buy it again.

Three stars, and here is exactly why
Leading with the problem, because it is what I would have wanted to read: Unmanaged — no VLANs, no port statistics, no remote access. A PoE fault can only be traced by unplugging devices. Neither is hidden — both are listed on the page — but they matter more in daily use than they look on a spec sheet. I have kept it, for one reason: 83 W PoE budget across all eight ports. That still outweighs the rest, but only just.

Matched my use exactly
The page describes who this is for, and it described me: Small camera or access point installs where the power budget matters more than management. On that basis it has been the right call. 83 W PoE budget across all eight ports.
