Re: Multi SFP Switch

+1 bump for this. We have immediate need for an SFP+ replacement to the WS-12-250-AC and 400-AC. I would love to see 4port SFP cage models as well for our non-wisp needs.
To the guy that said there are other switch brands out there with these capabilities, yes there are. But not anywhere near the same price point, or smaller sizes that are needed for mounting at the top of towers. There is a big difference in the size of box needed to house a 9"x7" switch vs 17"x15" switch.
A bit more wind load to consider.
And also, we just like the Netonix switches! There is a lot to be said about being able to stick with one vendor for all our switching needs. It makes keeping spares easier, and we have a backup system in place that would have to be completely reworked for a different switch brand. So yes, there ARE needs for more switches even though there are vendor other options out there.
Chris, you've got my email please let me know when these are available for order! Thanks,
