Rookie question about connecting a POE switch without a labeled "uplink" port

I am looking to purchase a netgear GS108PP which does not have a dedicated "Uplink" port. I assume any port is acceptable to use to connect to my OW router but wanted to make sure.

My fear is that the GS108PP could send voltage into my router and fry it.

This will be fine. Since that switch complies with 802.3 POE standards, it probes the device plugged in and doesn't turn on power unless it is a PoE device.

I thought so but wanted a 2nd opinion, thank you.
