Question Looking for network switch with 3 RJ45 10GBE ports plus 7-10 regular Gigabit RJ45 ports for $350 or lower

Does any such switch exist.

I have looked and cannot seem to find any,.

Netgear has one with 8 regular Gigabit ports plus 2 10 GBE, but just need the 3rd one.

I prefer not to Daisy chain and need 3 10Gbe RJ45 ports 1 for desktop and 1 for laptop and 1 for NAS which all will have a 10GBE.

QNAP has one, but unfortunately it has 3 SFP+ ports instead of RJ-45 and would prefer not to deal with transceivers and adapters and that stuff.

Any switch I may not be seeing or does no such switch exist that anyone knows about.

My house is already wired with CAT 6A cable.

Looking for something reliable and priced $350 or lower.

10Gbe RJ45 networking is probably too new for that combination of features to be in any single network switch.

Your price point may be unrealistic at this point in time. To get close to your price point, you're most likely going to need to chain two devices, or get a used switch that has 1Gbe RJ45 ports and at least 4x SFP+ ports.

You can hit your price point by getting a used Brocade ICX6610 on eBay for about $100-150'ish. It's got 8x SFP+ and 24x 1Gbe RJ45 ports. Yes, you will need to mess with transceivers and it is a managed switch. Copper transceivers run hot, and it is not recommended that you plug in two copper RJ45 transceivers next to each other. So having 8x SFP+ ports mean you can space them out for proper heat dissipation.

As an alternative, and this is still just outside your price point, the TRENDnet TEG-S750 is a 5-Por 10G Switch. Amazon currently has it at $270. Add in a network switch that has at least 1x 10Gbe port (most likely SFP+ with transceiver), and a bunch of 1Gbe RJ45 ports.

QNAP probably is still your best bet even if you don't like to deal with transceivers.

Amazon.com

plus two $40 transceivers, can be under $260

==

A bit over budget, but you get 4 ports 10Gbe and management capability

QNAP QSW-M408-2C

I finally found one.

Its perfect:

Amazon.com

Hard to believe it was so hard to find as Googling never brought it up.

Someone on reddit found it for me.

Nice find. Google and Amazon didn't show anything Zyxel when I checked.

Yes they did not and it was so puzzling the search results could never find it.

Someone at reddit found it and that is how I got it.

My guess would be that your post states:

7-10 regular Gigabit​

The Zyxel that you found is called:

Zyxel 12-Port Web- Managed Multi-Gigabit Switch​
