100G SFP+ or bust.
Well yes, but I need equipment suggestions. Budget is about $500 per piece.
Oh. You're trying to do business class Networking on a poor wagie consumer budget.
Have fun with that ebay hack job.
Don't be a bitch. OP is being more than reasonable.
I don't have any vendor/reseller accounts at the moment. At my last job I had a CDW account for pricing out equipment. I used to sell lots of HPE Aruba switches but they were around $600-900 if I recall and that was just prior to COVID so I have no idea what they go for now. But it also depends on how many ports exactly, how many SPF, POE,...
To be honest though if you want a full 10Gb switch with 48 ports, mananged, with SPF you're not going to find anything worth the money for under $1k.
The other thing with the Aruba's is that you basically MUST get them through a vendor through an official channel/distributor. They have some on Amazon that come from questionable sources bu the gist is they'll never be able to get manufacturer support.
No, I'm trying to do decent speed consumer class on a reasonable budget. If you're just going to be an ass, don't bother replying.
