Hi, I am working on a LAN switch replacement project and need:
5, 48 Port Switches
2, POE 48 Port Switches
Basic requirements are:
1. 1000T speed for CAT5E cabling
2. Stackable
3. Ports for fiber optic cabling module (to connect switch stacks on two different floor).
We are currently using a collection of entry level SMB type switches: Dell 2724, Cisco 200 and 300 Series and they are aging / we want to improve LAN networking cost effectively.
I've looked at below solutions and this is within budget (under $10K).
5x SG500-52 @ $1167.99
2x SG500-52P @ $1577.99
$8995.93 Total Switch Replacements
Questions: Is the 500 series a good choice for this project? Are there any other products that I should take a look at?
