best price/perf/feature 4x SFP+ fanless switch

[m4r1k]

Hey there,

As per $subject, what would be your recommendation for a fanless 4x SFP+ switch?

So far on my radar, I only have the MikroTik CRS305-1G-4S+IN and the super cool yet extremely expensive ICX 7150-C10ZP. This last one has 2x SPF+ and 2x 10Base-T which, for my needs, would be fine.

Thanks!

If you're interested in the brocade / ruckus switches, you can pick up a 7150-24(P) or -48(P) and configure it to run fanless with chassis fanless. It'll just limit your poe budget.

See Commscope Technical Content Portal.

I use a TP Link TL-ST1008F for my servers and PC and so far its been running my home network really well.
Even works fine with 2.5G transceivers!

The Mikrotik CRS305-1G-4S+IN is a classic of course.

If you want other entries in the same 8-port cheap Chinese market switch segment as the TP-Link TL-ST1008F (unmanaged), there are also:

Hasivo S1100-8S+ (unmanaged)
Hasivo F1100W-8S+ (L3 managed)

ONTi ONT-FG4200-8TF (unmanaged)
ONTi ONT-FG6700-8TFM (L3 Managed) (NOTE: Same listing as the previous one so make sure to pick the correct model)

OMAY OM-FG4200-8TF (unmanaged)
OMAY OM-FG6700-8TFM (L3 managed) (NOTE: Same listing as the previous one so make sure to pick the correct model)

POEPLUS S2108SE (unmanaged)
POEPLUS S3108SE (L2 managed?) (NOTE: Same listing as the previous one so make sure to pick the correct model)

I'm sure there are also lots of other brands selling the same base platform. Notice how the price of the managed model can be quite different, despite likely being essentially the same hardware. I'm sure there are a bunch of them on Amazon as well.
