It might just be this one. They also do a 2.5gbe 8 port i think which is a similar size, but doesn't come with the 10" rack ears, just the ones that fit it to a 19" rack. Though youd never be able to tell from the website because they cant be bothered to make it clear. Digitus do a 16 port 10" switch too i think.

Yeah Digitus do a range of 10 inch rack switches but AFAIK no 2.5 or 10gbe options, the Zyxel has screw holes for rack ears and happens to fit a 10 inch rack but is sold with fittings for 19 inch.

there are 3D printable ears for the Zyxel switch i think. The Unify 16 port switch should fit on a shelf or again, 3D print a rack holder. its only 1Gbe though, its also quite deep.

Not a fan of using 3D printed parts for rack use personally, there are generic rack ears which fit the Zyxel fine - as I used

Decided to add a patch panel to neaten things up though I'm still not really convinced - but having to make up my own cables as all my patch cables lack the flexibility for a 10" enclosure (they'll fit but the strain won't be good in the long run) - or at least the one I have which has half the depth from the door as my 19" rack.
