From my understanding the POE standard is 48 volts, but is this something most switches let you change? Some POE devices often state lower voltages like 12 or 24. Ex: Unifi APs are 12 IIRC and some security cameras as well. Instead of having POE injectors everywhere which are very hard to organize in a rack I'm thinking of getting a POE switch but want to make sure I will actually be able to use it as POE and not be stuck using the injectors anyway.

I would probably go with a Dell switch as they are cheap on Ebay and I already have several so I'm familiar with them.
