You need a high-density copper switch that actually thinks — VLANs, routing, stacking — without the price tag of an enterprise box. The DGS-3630-52TC gives you 48 standard 1000Base-T RJ45 jacks (4 are combo with SFP) plus 4 x 10GbE SFP+ uplinks. Layer 3+ routing is in the hardware; advanced L3 features need the Enhanced Image Licence, so budget for that. xStack lets you link a second unit and treat both as one switch — one IP, one config, one place to troubleshoot. If your floor's got 40-plus endpoints on copper and the old unmanaged box is finally choking, this is the upgrade that doesn't require a recabling project
