Cisco's 10GBase T switch

[illusion_rox]

Dear Experts, 

One of my customer wants 24 port 10GBaseT ports and 24 10G SFP+ ports in one single switch. I did my best to find out and i think 9504 is the only option available but that might be overkill for their requirement. They need it for ToR placement. 

Can someone help to recommend any other switch which might be of compact form factor and less costly?

I don't think you'll find this in a single switch. 

You're more looking at a Nexus 5600 with 2332TQ or 2332TM for the 10GBaseT and 2348TQ for the SFP+ variety.

The Cisco Nexus 93108TC-FX are nice as well

oh ok, so if customer wants it in a single switch, i think the only lowest option i can quote will be 9504 right

If you must use 10GBaseT, these are your options:

As you can see, the pickings are slim. There are many reasons not to go that path, mostly due to: distance, power, heat.

If the distance is short, consider DAC if you need copper. Otherwise, consider MMF/SMF.
