Decent 48p switch for ~$600 =?ISO-8859-1?Q?=22Simen_S=2E_= 06-08-08

Hello! I'm looking for a replacement for our "3com Baseline Switch 2250 plus"
48p switch. This is
the second 3com 2250+ we have had (the last one was returned) and it is very
unstable and crappy.

We don't need any fansy, we are about 150 users and the 48p switch (current 3com
2250+) is the main
connection point.

As I said we have a budget (not very rich company), ~$600 is maximum, and lower
would be better.

We also need 1000MBit ports for connecting to our file server. I've been looking
on the "HP ProCurve
Switch 2510-48", but that is a little to expensive.

Any help would be great!

Refurbished?

It's so cheap, I haven't figured out the catch myself. Maybe there is
none.

Or buy an older model (no Gb port)

It took some time, but finally I got my money back. Now, I found a great price
on the HP ProCurve
2510-48 I only had one question...

Some of the more expensive places had the SKU "J9020A#ABB" but the one I found
had only "J9020A",
without #ABB. You know what this means? And if so, does it matter?

Thank you for a great newsgroup...

I've been with HP for 20 years and I still get fuzzy on product
ordering, but I believe the #ABB is an option code. From what I can
tell, I think it selects European English localization. I don't know
if that also specifies the type of power cord but it may.

Both stores are norwegian, so it would be very strange if they shipped without
an norwegian power
cord. Some other store again which are more expensive again also have just
"J9020A"... So I think
I'll try ordering just "J9020A".
