$50 would be roughly all-in for the SFP+ NIC, two optics and a generous length of multi-mode fiber. I just did this, and here's the breakdown of my costs from eBay:
1x Juniper EX3300-24p - $75
7x SFP+ optics - $7/each
3x Intel X520-DA2 NIC - $20/each
4x 3 meter OM3 LC-LC fiber - $6/each
1x 30 meter OM3 LC-LC fiber - $24
-----
Total: $232
The EX3300-24p has 24x 1gb copper ports with PoE+ on them, and 4x SFP+ ports. If you need more SFP+ ports you'll want to find a different switch - but for a small multi-use home network the EX3300-24p nicely matched my requirements.

- E39M5S62 3y agoMikrotik switches/products are pretty intriguing. Do you have any experience with that model? I'm interested in how stable it is and if the known bugs are anything to be concerned about.
- justsomehnguy 3y agoNope, but if you saw/used one Mikrotik then you saw them all. Personally I have a love/hate relationship with MT, with a little love and a lot of hate, but at their price range they are unbeatable and works 99% of time. https://www.servethehome.com/mikrotik-crs309-1g-8sin-review-inexpensive-8x-10gbe-switch/ https://www.servethehome.com/mikrotik-crs309-1g-8sin-review-...
