Recent G7028 switch died in a lightning storm and I've been looking to replace it.
Was looking at the Ubiquiti US-16-XG and the HP Officeconnect 1850 6XGT 2XGT/SFP+ as viable replacements (if you have suggestions between the 2 ill take them as well but the HP has more 10Gbe copper ports which i could definitely utilize)
Upon researching though, i find multi-gigabit switches to be appealing. Reason being from my standpoint is i recently received gigabit internet service, and i can only see them expanding their speed in the future to something along the lines of 2Gb. Future proofing thoughts, i don't see a future home router being 10Gb but perhaps 2.5 or 5Gb initially. If the router was 2.5Gb or 5Gb, the switches listed above would default speeds at 1Gb. Thoughts?
Unfortunately, the only multi-gigabit switch i see with 2 SFP+ ports is the Netgear XS512EM, which runs about $250 more than the options listed above and it uses Smart Managing? Any other switch suggestions i would greatly appreciate it.
