#Recommendation for a fanless managed switch

Hi all, I'm looking to replace my old Cisco 2960. It's still working fine but it's simply just too loud, especially when reboots. Felt like a jet flying pass. So I'm looking to replace it with a fanless switch and it doesn't have to be the latest and greatest. Happy with any old eBay (UK) or even new Amazon as long as it has the following criteria:

  1. Has to be a managed switch
  2. No POE as POE switches generally require fan(s) hence the noise. But if there's a very quiet fan switch, please do recommend away
  3. Just 1 Gigabit should be suffice, I don't need the new bells and whistles like 2.5 or 10.

Found a HP Procurve 1800 but not entirely sure if they're fanless or not. So far I found some contradicting findings.
Thanks all.

I've got Ubiquiti and they are really good, search eBay for Unifi

I haven't played with the omada stuff, but it's a competitor to unifi/ubiquiti

If you want cisco level stuff with management though I would look at mikrotiks offerings
