Hi everyone,
I am looking for a relatively quiet rack mountable 24 (or more) x 10 GbE Interfaces switch to install in my office.
I have some servers in a passive rack and I am planning to migrate this rack to 10 GbE (copper or fibre).
In our DC's we use Cisco Nexus 30xx, however they are really loud.
I also would like to keep the Cisco switches, and have considered the Catalyst 9300. The noise level specifications for this switch is:
LpA: 45dB typical, 48 dB max
LwA: 5.6B typical, 5.9B max
However, I do not believe this is the loudest this switch can be. Does anyone have experience with this? How is it comparable to the Nexus or the Catalyst 2900? This would be a good reference for me.
Thank you!
