Well, I'm not sure about 48 port. I have several of these:
http://www.extremenetworks.com/products/summit-x650.aspx
which are 24 port 10Gbase-T switches. I got them in.. late 2008?
2009? Not sure offhand.
From the same manufacturer there's the more recent
http://www.extremenetworks.com/products/summit-x670.aspx
also 1U, which appears to be 48 port or more and to have a copper
version but I've not actually seen one.
And both models are stackable.
