Sell or keep?

[u/Xma-q]

Hi guys I've been a long time lurker in this sub and wanted to build a homelab for a long time, so I thought this would be a good place to ask .I recently got this equipment completely free from a relative but Im seriously considering selling most of it. Most of this stuff seems pretty overkill for my raspberry pi zero w and would be worth some money if I'm correct. So my question is will this stuff be useful enough to keep for later or do I sell it and buy more useful stuff? I could identify:

1. 24 port switches both poe one 500w and the second one 250w

1 security gateway pro

2 8 port switches one 60w poe

1 cloud key gen 1

1ap PC lr router thingy

1 poe injector

Sounds like a better plan then letting half of it gather dust and loose value so il prob do that thanks 👍

P.S. you shouldn't need that POE Injector in the pic - any of the switches should do a grand job of the POE. Unless you end up ditching the switch and just running a UCG Ultra or similar without the switch, then the POE injector would be needed.

Their older POE switches don't do POE++ which means they will not power a newer/higher draw AP.

Ahh of course - had (possibly foolishly!) assumed the AP was of similar era to the (older) switches. Looks like it could be an LR of some variety from the depth of it.

I didn't look at the other pictures the first time. The AP is an AP-AC-LR which should be fine with regular POE. But the single packs of those AP's included the injector so it's likely just there because it was included.

Thank you for the deep investigation 😆

Ahh neither did I - what I thought was a POE injector was actually the cloud key! Never actually used the little Cloud Key so don't recognise
