Welcome to the community! :)
I suggest you the M4300-28G (GSM4328S) switch. Kindly check its specification on the data sheet here.

Thanks for the suggestion, that one was under consideration but it only has 2 SFP's compared to the m4100-26g's 4 SFP's. It is also a considerable price jump compared to the M4100-26G. Over twice the price by the looks of it, and not really gaining anything (we a couple of years off 10gbps, so thats not really a selling point to me at present).
The closest one out of that range that will suit my purpose is the M4300-24X, but even that isn't exactly what I want/need. It's a half width one and the SFP's are on the back of the switch rather than the front. The M4300-8X8F is also a possibility as the SFP's are on the front, but this one would require me to get a second switch involved due to lack of RJ45 ports.
If you think of anything else please suggest it as it may help the next person asking the same question. If I find anything else that looks suitable I shall endeavour to come back and post it for the same reason.
