There are a few switches, mostly only 100Mbit and geared to industrial or surveillance -- http://www.veracityglobal.com/products/ethernet-and-poe-devices/outreach-quad.aspx

You could use a POE splitter to get power to the switch. You would just need to purchase a switch that has power requirements that can be met by the splitter (most switches with external power supplies will work). An example of a splitter is this: TP-Link TL-POE10R. To get the power to the splitter you can use your POE switch on the other end or if you don't have a POE switch then use a POE injector, like this: TP-Link TL-POE150S.

I know that this thread has been marked answered but I am posting some more alternatives just in case.

You could use EdgeRouter X. It supports passive POE-in. You could configure it as a switch. It won't be straightforward but Ubiquiti gear is pretty stable and reliable.
