The TL-SG2210P 8-Port Gigabit PoE Smart Switch with 2 SFP Slots from TP-Link is designed for small and medium business networks that require high connectivity, functionality, and performance. This switch can be configured to meet multiple needs and provides you with 8 Gigabit Ethernet ports that support network traffic at speeds up to 1000 Mbps. Also supported is 802.3af-compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) up to 53W. PoE passes electrical power along with data on Ethernet cabling, allowing a single cable to provide a data connection and electrical power to devices such as wireless access points or IP cameras.
This 8-port switch includes 2 combo SFP (small form-factor pluggable) slots. This expands the flexibility of your network, as these slots support SONET, Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and other communications standards. It also features an 8K MAC Address Table, which allows you to store a large number of MAC addresses.
Also provided are security features, such as Storm Control, which protects against Broadcast, Multicast, and Unknown-unicast Storm. Network traffic is managed with Quality of Service to help ensure a smooth and even network flow. Setup is simplified with user-friendly web management interfaces, including CLI, SNMP, and RMON. This TP-Link switch operates at 100-240 VAC at 50/60 Hz and includes a power adapter, resource CD, and rubber feet.

I used four of these to create a distributed network in an office suite for VoIP telephones and data connectivity. Having the SFP slots allowed for a fiber backbone leaving all the copper ports available. Be cautioned, though, that they come with a default IP address that you should change so as not to have any conflicts.
