Hello

but all switch interfaces are 1000/10G Fiber.
what options I have to connect the sandbox to the switch

SPAN port for a Sandbox with 10/100/1000 base t interfaces and a switch with 1000/10G Fiber interfaces

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.
