That switch should be able to do regular switching between its four 10Gb ports, but first you need to buy SFP+ transceivers to plug into those ports. 10G Fiber transceivers start around $20 per port, but 10G transceivers with RJ-45 ports for ordinary twisted-pair copper cabling are $40-70 per port. So to get that switch equipped to actually do 10Gb switching over copper would drive the price per port over $100.


Thanks a lot
