Thanks for the reply... I was looking at things more simply... To protect 10/12 ports we are talking about $200/$250 give or take Switch value may be in similar ball park
It would be nice to see these in more of the $10 range.. I completely understand the production qty run vs cost. Maybe, just a suggestion, we (as a group) can commit to a per-purchase qty, if that will help in bring the cost down. Regards.
