Question 1

Are these quiet or fairly noisy?

Accepted Answer

By the standards of an equipment room I would characterize it as very quiet.   I wouldn't put it in a recording studio, but I've deployed them in training centers without any disruption or complaints.

Question 2

I currently have a Netgear GS748T 48 port switch. It worked well for a number of years but is now dropping connections. Do you have any recommendations on a replacement?

Accepted Answer

I have been pleased with the HP model
HP J9660A#ABA Managed V1810-48G Ethernet Switch. 
Might want to give that a try.
