If you find that Unicorn, let me know.
I've decided next tower redux is going to have a 24F or 48F cable going
up to a Commscope OFDC closure with SC connectors. Then hardened
jumpers to the equipment. My reasoning is that it opens the doors to
having the switch on the ground, which means every switch on the market
is an option instead of only a few hardened switches. And there could
still be an Edgepoint up there for PoE devices.

I've been using Edgepoint S16 with great success for several years,
but they only have 2 10G SFP Ports on them. More of our backhaul
radios have 10G optics, and the EPMP radios have 1G fiber, so I'm
looking for an outdoor Multiport SFP+ swtich. Are there any options
out there similar to the Edgepoint with more SFP+ ports?
The Mikrotik Fiberbox only has 5 1G ports and I've had a lot of issues
with them with packetloss and High CPU, and the Mikrotik Netpower 16P
only has 2 SFP+ Ports just like the edgepoint.
At most sites I can run new fiber cables all the way down to the
ground and plug them into a CRS317-1G-16S+ in my cabinet. But a
couple sites we want to upgrade this year, new cables are challenging
to install. We already have Fiber/DC at the top running the
edgepoint. Just need a way to get more fiber ports at the top to
connect to the radios. I'm thinking about putting a CRS309-1G-8S+IN
in and outdoor enclosure, it looks like it can power via POE from the
edgepoint.
