ASUS has just made an unmanaged 10 gigabit switch, ASUS XG-U2008, available at a price far below the average asking price of the devices currently on the market. the new switch is less than half of the competitions, albeit without the management features found on those switches. The LEDs on the front will glow amber if the cable you use is not up to the new standard, otherwise expect green for go. It will support Jumbo Frames of up to 16 KB just like the more expensive models. It is a compact 9.44×4.92×1.06″, so you should easily be able to find a home for it. Tou can check out technical details from ASUS here.
