Hi,
I was scouting for days for a good SFP+ ethernet 10G switch online and found many products, however, not many match my requirements, namely low power consumption and low noise.
I managed to find one which does not seem to appear almost anywhere, either on E-bay or advertised through forums:
Mellanox SX1012x:
Switches - Ethernet Switches - SX1000 - SX1012X - Mellanox Store
http://www.mellanox.com/related-docs/prod_eth_switches/PB_SX1012X.pdf
Mellanox® SwitchX®-2 Based SX1012X 12-Port 10GbE 1U Open Ethernet Switch | Staples
It contains 12 QSFP's and the power consumption is around 50 W which is equal to that of Cisco SG350XG-24F. Not sure about the noise level though.
Anyone have more information about this switch?
Since it is a popular topic, here is an overview of some 10G switches I could find (at least 8 SFP+). Please feel free to add to this list:
