Question : Problem: What brand Fiber Switch to buy?

We have a warehouse site with 5 warehouses, an office, and a couple of other buildings.  I am wanting to improve our network design by adding a backbone switch and connecting all the switches through it rather than daisy chaining them from one building to the next.  I am looking for a switch with just fiber ports, about 8.  We have SC connectors on most of our equipment.  

I am having trouble finding this item.  Everything I find seems to be modular and only support 10Mb or 100Mb modules, or they are like 21,000 dollars.  Does anyone have a recommendation on a brand or a model that is cost effective and will do the job?

If you want Gig fiber it is going to be expensive. There is no way around that. I would recommend the Cisco 3750 12S (WS-C3750G-12S-S) to you. It would make a great core switch for a small network. But; it cost about $5,500 plus SFP cost.
