<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">My problem point is coming from the RJ45 requirement, most vendors have one switch that they sell that is RJ45 at 10G or at the most one in each line (enterprise/datacenter) and
 they seem to be almost an afterthought. [probably because SFP28 is better in every way if you are already using fiber at the endpoint] sadly, we are not.<o:p></o:p></p>
