Need a 48 Port switch for mixed Network and POE connections
I need a switch for an installation that has 48 Ethernet runs, which include about 7-8 Ubiquity Access points.
Not all the jacks will have something plugged in. They planned for a 48 port Patch Panel.
I see that NetGear (which I have been happy with in years past) has a 48 port switch
NETGEAR 52-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Pro PoE Switch (GS752TP) - with 48 x PoE+ @ 380W, 4 x 1G SFP, Desktop/Rackmount, and ProSAFE Lifetime Protection
Will this work well with the Ubiquity access points? Is there a different brand that I should consider?
If I am connecting without PoE, will the switch provide a GigaBit connection?
Thanks.

you need to check what poe voltage is required and whether or not the ap use passive poe or not
You can use the POE box that comes (usually) with a Ubiquiti access point and then use any port on your router. I do this with my Ubiquiti access point. Works fine.
In answer to your Gig question, yes. PoE basically senses if there is a call for power and either supplies it or doesn't.
