Dell N40xx is cheap if you buy the RJ-45 versions.It will save a lot on optics.Our NICs are all RJ-45. We use CAT7 and the switch hasn't given any problems.We have one with an SFP+ uplink, and used a Dell-branded DAC cable that has also worked flawlessly.(Not to be confused with Dell S-series which are is much more expensive.)You do want to be careful with SFP+: many(all?) vendors create expensive lock-in by requiring their house brand optics: 48 x SFP+ can easily exceed the cost of the switch by several times. The switch port will not come up if you use aftermarket optics.- Richard

I have two options for my networks.
A budget-wise switch Netgear XS716T,
and a not so budget wise switch HPE 5700 (around 8 thousand if you push your sales rep hard enough)
