The Unifi US-24-500W is $523 on Amazon. How is that "inexpensive"? I
said I needed 16-24 ports, so not sure how an 8-port helps me. I do admit
I didn't specify "rackmount" in my OP -- Mea Culpa. But I'd rather find
something more in the $200 range for that purpose (a physically private
network of IP security cameras).
Yes, I do have an Edgerouter for my main router, which replaced my
Routerboard because the RB750 couldn't keep up with my Gigapower network.
I mostly like it.
Honestly I kind of like my DAP-2660 AC1200 AP and see little reason to
switch. It's worked quite well for me.
Thanks,

EdgeOS, and absolutely LOVE my ubiquity gear. I got the Unifi 8 port
PoE switch, Unifi Security Gateway, and the WAP that support 802.11ac.
It has literally changed my home networking. Can't recommend it enough.
I got all 3 of those seriously high grade boxes for about the same
price you pay for a consumer router that supports 802.11ac.
HIGHLY recommend.

Yes. My current house has a 96-port RJ45 patch panel (2/3 full). I
would
definitely repeat that. Similar with audio -- I've got a 6-zone amp
(although I dont think my current one is remotely adjustable -- but I
just
adjust via iTunes).
I'm still researching TV/HDMI distribution systems....
Oh, and trying to find a good 16-24-port PoE (10/)100/1000 switch.

Look at Ubiquity. They have a selection of PoE switches in various
port counts and rather affordable pricing. I've got a WAP and a 16
port 10G switch from them. Pretty happy with both. Control software is
closed source. Hardware looks like it may run the open switch software
whose name escapes me.

My current theory is 4x Cat6A, 1x RG6, and 1x Fiber.
However I'm not sure what kind of "fiber" to run, nor what kind of
connector I should use.
Any suggestions or recommendations?
