I need a switch with 10 (at least - but not too many more than) Gigabit
Ethernet fiber-optic interface ports. Has to be somewhat "rugged" as it
will be operated in an airplane in flight. One more thing - it has to
handle "jumbo" frames, up to 9000 bytes. Lightweight is a big plus
(remember, it will be on an airplane?). This would be a replacement for
a Catalyst 5505.

I would love to hear any recommendations you might have.

Thanks,

Jumbo frame support is discussed at

If it is acceptable to use SFP (small form pluggable) instead of
full GBIC, it looks like you could use a WS-C3750G-12S-S

I gather the fibre-optic requirement is due to electrical noise reasons,
rather than because you want gigabit? There are other options if
gigabit is the driving requirement rather than fibre-optic.
