I would suggest you update your post with what brands you accept - just so others will not also receive a reply "No XX please".No netgear please
@ezsolutionsinc what are your advanced requirements? Seems like @Bjorn Smith is more forthcoming with help than you are with describing the help you seek.Iv got advanced requirements. Net gear never cared for .
I doubt it TP Link is an even cheaper brand than Netgear - and OP has still not told us what brands he prefer.
Any brand except for linksys, tplink, and netgear. The requirements are as follows@ezsolutionsinc what are your advanced requirements? Seems like @Bjorn Smith is more forthcoming with help than you are with describing the help you seek.
FYI just bought 2x 10Gbase-T switches with 8X SFP+ ports but don't know your price/brand preferences.
My budsget is 1k or lessSince OP never mentioned budget constraints, a Cisco SX550X-24 matches the ask.
Managed - [check]
Layer 3 [check]
20 10Gig RJ45 ports [check]
4x 10gig SFP+ ports [check]
Not linksys, tplink, and netgear [check]
For even more ports, SX550X-52-K9-NA

This is why its always good to present all the constraints, when you ask for help instead of people trying to help waste their time - and just end up with you saying no, not good enough - because it does not fit "constraint not mentioned originally"My budsget is 1k or less
lolMy budsget is 1k or less
a) He said he has a cluster of 8 nodes, with 2x 10gigT ports each - that's 16 10g EthT ports neededExcept - he asked for 24 RJ45
The supply chain issue has been ongoing for years, that's nothing new. Covid just brought more attention to it. There is also rj45 to optic adapters, ill order a bunch of those to try as well . The 66xx series are too old, however, but thanks for the idea.You're not going to see a $1k switch that has 24 x 10Gbase-T + 4 x 10G SFP switch - not with the current supply chain issues. Maybe if the supply chain crisis abates and Broadcom pushes out the new Trident/Tomahawk NPUs - we might get lucky and start seeing cheaper switches or newer ones that have 10G - or both.
Right now your best bet is to use something like an ICX-6610/6650 and end up spending $$$ for SFP transceivers. Or then buy a ICX-7650 - the ZP variant that has 24 x 10GBase-T and costs $3000 second hand.
The cheapest new and in-stock 10GBase-T switch I know that has 24 x 10G ports is S5860-24XB-U from FS.com. It's rebadged chinese stuff with their own OS and costs $3800 now (used to cost a lot less before the pandemic). Or you can wait patiently for Ubiquiti to release their high port count 10G switches
