I've recently installed a single GigE-Power Over Ethernet machine vision camera at a client's location and they are now interested in expanding to 3 locations on site with 3 cameras per location. The locations are distant enough (>100m) from both the control room and each other that we want to run fiber instead of ethernet cable as much as possible. So I've come up with the arrangement in the linked drawing as a potential solution. A switch at each location capable of PoE and at least 1000Base-T capacity to each PoE/GigE vision camera, and 10G SFP+ connection that will leave the location to the control room. At the control room a 10G SFP+ switch to bring the 3 fiber runs from the distant locations to a single computer (which is the ideal we'd like to test/implement, but it may turn out necessary to expand to more computers due to CPU limits).
Looking for feedback on any issues with arrangement or equipment selection. I've not set this up before and any being made aware of any pitfalls I might run into or information you can point me towards would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Location Switch - D-Link Systems 28-Port SmartPro Stackable PoE/PoE+ Switch & 2 Gigabit SFP Ports and 2 10GbE SFP+ Ports (DGS-1510-28P) - Will also search for a model that has fewer ethernet ports but still has PoE.
Control Room Switch? - Chatting with Cisco rep now to spec this and other switches.
