Core switch suggestions

[Vijay-K]

Hello,

I am currently upgrading my network equipment and require some advice on which switch to purchase. I require a switch the has all 24 ports to be SFP so I can put copper or fiber cards in them. Reason being I have several copper and fiber uplinks to my edge switches. Please let me know if there is a specific switch I should purchase and yes I did use the switch selector. I just want some input. Thank you.
