Hi,

waiting for my 4* 2.5g / 2* SFP+ unmanaged switch. But already needing more 10g ports and somehow would like to go above 4 2.5g Ports. Thinking about this:

  • 4 SFP+ or more
  • 6 or better 8+ 2.5g ports
  • POE is not a requirement
  • Managed is not a requirement but a welcome plus
  • Low power consumption. Under 15W under bit of load would be nice
  • Ideally under 300 Euro for managed and under 150 for unmanaged

I don’t think this exists yet. But maybe someone has a tip. Thinking the 2.5g is killing my requirement. Maybe I’ll buy a 8* SFP+ switch and add my 4* 2.5g switch via SFP to it for now … 🤔

I’d absolutely get a 6450-24 for my setup, but I really want to go for 2.5g for all wired machines here as I move quiet the data back and forth. Kinda defeats on getting adapters and new hardware for 2.5g cu. On the other side, I might ditch 2.5g and just go directly to 10g if 2.5 is still too expensive.
