Fiber connection SFP switch

[Eumel2]

Hi guys,

 

I got a bit of an odd situation. I have several locations that are too far apart to connect them with ethernet cables but individuall they do not require a large bandwidth (100-200 Mbit max. I expect).

So Im in need of a switch that has many SFP ports and few Ethernet ports (ideally at least one of them 10G) but the usual application is the exact opposite. 

Can anyone recommend me a switch like this if it exists?

How many ports in total do you want? Mikrotik has many switches that are sfp.

Sweet, they look good. CRS309 is probably the way to go.

Do you know if the SFP+ ports are compatible with the SFP transceivers?

They should be. Sometimes you can mix brands and it will work fine, but I usually buy ones that are the same brand as the switch to help guarantee compatibility.
