Are there any decently priced 10-Gigabit Ethernet switches? Any 5-port ones under $100?
I'm mostly asking out of curiosity, so this isn't an XY problem.

3Absolute lowest price I could bring one down for is 185.73. You'll notice that regardless of your low port requirement this switch has 24 ports. This just happened to be cheaper than switches with lower port quantities. I suspect that 10-Gigabit switches are only really used in enterprise level applications as you are unlikely to actually pass the Gigabit mark without the proper servers, cables, or otherwise environment.– Bennett YeoCommented Dec 26, 2018 at 1:46

10GBASE-T, or is some other physical standard okay?– JMY1000 ♦Commented Dec 29, 2018 at 8:11

@BennettYeo You can even post this as an answer, since you identify precisely why such switches are expensive regardless of the port quantity.– AlexCommented Jan 2, 2019 at 12:19
