Recommend a Fiber Switch

[Dbuffed]

What can you guys recommend as a fiber switch all 100M-1Gbps individual port switching. Would be L2 uplink of 10Gbps overall but possibly looking to get up to 40Gbps at an all. My budget is pretty tight no more than around $5,000, been checking ebay but nothing coming up so might have to buy something new. I'm not real picky on the brand and if I had to be reliable and cheap is always good for me =).

Would something like this work Quanta LY2 T3048-LY2 48 1/10GbE SFP+ and 4 40GbE QSFP Bare Metal Network Switch | eBay

5k is not a pretty tight budget LOL try around a couple hundred dollars: https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/brocade-icx6450-icx6610-etc.21107/

if you want all the 1gbps ports to be fiber instead of copper, the model you're looking for is icx6610-24f or icx6610-48f

Depends what feature set you need/want. Brand to brand is can be quite different.

You should be able to e.g get a Juniper EX4600 for that price, 24 x 10Gbps SFP+ and 4 x 40Gbps ports and it can be expanded.
Otherwise edge-core, fs.com or second hand Dell's etc...

DGS-1210-10 8 port gigabit switch is worth recommending. It is the latest generation of D-Link gigabit web smart non-PoE switch, characterized by D-Link Green 3.0 technology to save energy under non performance sacrifice.

Not really a fully fiber switch though..
