Switches for 2.5G / multi gigabit over optical

I'm looking for a small scale networking switch <10 ports that supports multi gigabit over optical supporting 2.5G. It would need 2-4 10G uplinks and preferably it would also support 1g interfaces.

I understand that multi gigabit was primarily developed to reuse existing Cat 5e cables but was hoping there was an optical option out there. I haven't found one yet.

Why? We have a proprietary remote sensor that were asked to connect to a network and the low power device only supports rates up to 2.5 G and it only has an optical data output. We could fall back to 1G but or try a media converter but those are less desirable alternatives.
