Fiber on fs.com is SUPER cheap, cheaper than CAT6 and OP
https://www.fs.com/products/40228.html 15m (~49' 3") for $5.90 (OS2 1350nm for single mode)
No free shipping but if you order all your transceivers and cable shipping is only $7 and pretty cheap overall. Single mode (OS2 1350nm) transceivers are about $20. You can go multimode (OM3 850nm) for slightly cheaper, ~$13-15, still good to 300 meters at 10G, fiber is pretty much the same cost, which is stupid cheap and makes most copper xBaseT look like Monster Cable nonsense.
I have the 4+1 switch, three multimode and one single mode running a NAS, two PCs, and an old Proliant server. All runs great, hit up to 700MB/s off my NAS cache drive to my main PC's NVMe drive. Even non-cached read is 160-170MB/s--the native speed of my underlying RAID/HDDs, or about 80% faster than I'd get over my old copper 1gbps network. 1gbps is choking 5400rpm HDDs.
I'm going to upgrade to the 16 port once I buy my new rack...
Most SFP+ cards are a great price on eBay and I found this switch which is both a great price and suuuuper quite. All of my worstations are in the same room so distance isn't an issue. It's just this one machine with a matx board/case that is making it tricky and I don't want to swap things out (though it would probably make my life easier if I just got an atx board/case)
The 16 port Mikrotik is pretty cheap on Amazon:

The Mikrotik CRS-317 is $341 on Amazon and even with the fans running is whisper-quiet. I love mine. https://www.amazon.com/Cloud-Router-Switch-317-1G-16S-RM/dp/B0747TC9DB
