Managed PoE switch with PoE passthrough and local CLI?

I am looking for a small switch (only need 2-3 ports) with PoE passthrough - meaning it's powered by PoE input, and then also outputs PoE only some of the output ports.

This is for standard PoE (i.e. 48V, 802.3af/at/bt etc., not passive 24V). The Mikrotik RB260GSP seems to be 24V passive PoE only.

Local CLI control would be nice - which rules out things like the Unifi US-8.

VLAN support would be good as well.

The Cisco 3560CX-8PT-S seems to be another good option - but apparently the idle power draw is around 20W (yikes), and it's also a fair jump up in price. Also, it seems to be a fairly old model (2014) - not sure if there's a more modern replacement?

Does anybody know of any other options out there?
