      @thwr Note my edit.. Possibly one with filters and a fan. more maintenance, but if temperature is an issue, it will be better.

        Definitely. We got all kind of possible dangers there. Everything on a very high safety level, even for German standards. But we're working with mineral oil and misc. fluids, there's wood and metal swarfs and so on.

        So a filter is not even a question

          oh yeah, I would go NEMA no fan and filter. if it over heats and melts, jsut replace.

              You could put in low cost EdgeSwitcheLite (the non PoE version)

                At a huge hog farm that I service. I used the Ubiquiti ToughSwitches. They stand up to the heat and the cold with no issues. I have them in hermetically sealed boxes. No air or water can get in, just the nature of the business, with all the ammonia from the poo and urine if left out the switches would corrode, and then they bring in water pressure jets to clean out the pig areas on a regular basis. I haven't had any fail in the three years they have been in.

                  That's the idea. I don't have much need for PoE except for a few APs which will be powered with injectors.

                    Looks like the ES Lite is only in the 24 and 48 port variety..

                      Now that's what I would call a harsh environment 😉 Thank you, I've already had a quick look on them.

                        They will do POE as well.

                          I already have a bunch of ES-48-LITE in production. Great switches for the money.

                            The ES8 nd ES12 with PoE may work. if you turn all the PoE off onthe ports, I bet it run cooler.

                              I've just ordered an ES-8, will check that. ES12? Do you mean the 12F?

                                    I installed a few of the wall racks with filters on the bottom and fans on top for exhaust like the ones Jared mentioned. Don't remember the brand or price. The equipment stayed very clean and cool. Hard part is remembering to change/clean the filters regularly depending on the environment.
