fiber switch

[Moudar]

Hi

I wonder waht models do replace the WS-C4500X-16 and WS-C3850-12S.

What is important is that all ports are fiber ports.

What are Cisco switches (Layer 2) that only are 1GB fiber ports. 

I could only find SG-350 10-port fiber switch! Is there any other model that is IOS or IOS-XE ?!

Hi

 If you look at the End of Life anouncement from Cisco they inform you what would be the replacement.

Hi,

There are a couple optons with 9300. See table-2 in this link:

C9300X-12Y

12 port 25G/10G/1G SFP28

C9300-24S

There is also the 9500. See table-2:

What about a cheaper fiber switch 1GB which will be used as normal switch but for fiber cables.

What other models do Cisco offer that are cheaper than 9300 & 9500?

There is also the SMB switches:

See table-1

None.  9300/9300X is the "cheapest" option.  

Personally, I'd look at refurbished units due to OS stability reasons.

[Moudar]

Where do these refurbished units  being sold? From Cisco direct or how?

What refurbished units models are recommended for normal fiber switch and for replacement of 4500x and 3850
