Description
Currently, there are many 1GbE or 2.5GbE switches with 2x 10GbE SFP+ cages available that fit in a mini-rack. What are some options for switches that are primarily 10GbE and have more than 2 ports?
So far, I know of two options:
### Qnap QSW-M3212R-8S4T-US
- 207mm wide
- $499.00
- Managed
- 4x RJ-45 10GbE
- 8x SFP+ 10GbE
### MikroTik CRS305-1G-4S+IN
- 141mm wide
- $149.95
- Managed
- 4x SFP+ 10GbE
Also, slightly too big, but a decent top-of-rack option:
### Mikrotik CRS309-1G-8S+IN
- 272mm wide
- $216.00
- Managed
- 8x SFP+ 10GbE

Research direction
Start with the switch requirements and examples listed in issue #63, then research primarily 10GbE switches with more than two ports that fit a mini-rack. Document qualifying options with their dimensions, price, management status, and port types; the work is done when the list provides useful additional choices.
