You also get (the wiring for) remote control for free though, which is nice. It seems like there would be a market for cheap as possible 10 mbit switches with 802.3bt/802.3af support though. https://www.amazon.com/Gigabit-802-3af-100Mbps-250Meter-Unmanaged/dp/B0899MWYKL https://www.amazon.com/Gigabit-802-3af-100Mbps-250Meter-Unma... is pretty cheap as is, I'm sure you could buy something in bulk for cheaper.
