CRS series. As well. Depending on how dense you want. 229 bucks gets you a pair of 10 gig ports and 24 copper. ?


I'm not looking for copper, except maybe a couple ports for the local connection; I'm looking for lots of SFPs, something that could be useful for a rural FTTP build, dropped into a pedestal somewhere in the middle of noplace, to feed a cluster of nearby buildings. MikroTik isn't in that space yet; CRS seems to be lots of copper.

Thanks for the model number. I had looked on Planet's web site but there were no switches under "Braodband Communications"; that model was in the "LAN switch" section. The product name then says "Managed Metro Ethernet Switch" but it doesn't mention any MEF compliance, the application page says "core/department network" (though it uses SFPs, which is odd there), and its QoS features don't seem up to MEF standards (three-color marking, etc.). So it might work but I'm not sure if it really wants to be a carrier box.

What's the price? My recollection is that Planet was very very reasonable.

The other one that looks really interesting is the new IgniteNet Fusion Switch. The 20-SFP/4-SFP+ box is under $500, and seems to be aimed at Active carrier deployments. Of course it's kinda new so I don't know if anyone has it deployed yet. And I have no need for higher-layer features in a switch; I'd rather let a real router do that.

        For a small outdoor or semi-outdoor (not a/c) deployment of a
        couple of dozen ports or so, what's a good cheap Active
        Ethernet switch? This would be to supplement wireless and
        focus on business customers, so Active makes more sense. Thanks.
