We have been buying most of our Cisco switches through a company called Network Hardware Resale, Chris Johnson 805.879.0608. Some of the equipment we buy is new other stuff is the refurbished product. Their prices, product availability, and customer service have been excellent. I paid $3700 for a new Cisco Catalyst 3560 48 port 10/100 POE +4 SFP,STD image this past summer. Cisco part number WS-C3560-48PS-S. Obviously, this model has 48 ports of 10/100, the 4 SFP ports will handle a gig though. It is non-stackable, but managed through the same interface, where you can have multiple switches connected together through the SFP ports and place them in a community to manage them. This is the exact switch that we are placing in all of our remote closets for our VOiP deployment.

Hi, Have a look at the HP Procurve line, The 29xx series does most of what you want, but is not stackable. However, The only "reason" for being stackable is having the switches communicate at backplane speed between them right? If that is realy nessesary you need to look at the coreswitches that are in a frame where one can plug in modules.

All, I'm looking for a stackable 48-port managed switch that supports PoE, IP Precedence, CoS, layer 3, and is 10/100/1000. It's for implementing an internal VOIP setup... I've been pointed to a Netgear unit but I can't imagine spending nearly $2k on something from Netgear... Can someone recommend a suitable switch? Thanks, --SJ
