Anybody see a 48 port managed 2.5 Gig ethernet switch for reasonable pricing yet? it seems like these are still either thousands of dollars or sold for chinese market without appropriate certificatiosn to be plugged into the north american electric grid. Any help would be appreciated (even better if it has 2-4 SFP+ 10 gig ports on it)

In terms of value old 10 gig is much better than new 5 gig and even 2.5. It’s just most 10 gig stuff has crazy loud fans and use a ton of power.

Noise doesn't matter in a data center which is where the switches live. The power use might be more than a 1gbit, but they're in line with any dual power enterprise switch really.
