Mikrotik CRS305 ($150, 4x SFP+) & CRS309 ($250, 8x SFP+) w/ as many S+RJ10s as you want.
Mikrotik quotes 2.7W per transceiver at 10GBASE-T.

So yes, it's a bit hot, but definitely something you can get done well under $500 if you want copper.
- bradfa 5y agoThose Mikrotik SFP+ RJ 10Gbps modules get VERY hot. Idle temp is usually in the 60-70C range in my experience. They have guidance about not putting them next to each other in switch ports: https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/S%2BRJ10_general_guidance#General_Guidance https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/S%2BRJ10_general_guidance#Gen...
- AdrianB1 5y agoI know about that option, but the price per port, including RJ45 transceiver, is huge compared to 1 Gbps ports. Also it is limited to 4 ports only - even for home use it is not enough, all the switches in my home (more than 3) are 8 ports and above.
- ethbr0 5y agoWell, the idea is that you only wire trunks, wifi APs, and SANs w/ 10GbE, and light a select few wall jacks that matter. ~$120 per port (assuming 309s, the recommended interleaved spacing, and amortizing the switch cost over # ports) isn't very expensive if (a) you need the capability & (b) already have copper in the walls. Drywall finishing along will run you that much. :) But yeah, new builds should definitely be fiber.
