    Here's a $1.3k switch for you: 18x 40Gig QSFP and 40x 10gig SFP+

    We have been running these for quite some time now, I can only say that with Finisar SFP+, they are about 150 W with a bunch of ports used. So its not too bad given the extreme performance these puppies put out. No QFSP experience.
