Recommendations for a Layer-1 switch with support for multiple 100Gbps QSFP28 and/or 400Gbps QSFP-DD ports

I'm looking to purchase a few Layer-1 switches to share some high density ports in a lab environment. This is mainly for 100G or 400G ports. Nothing fancy in terms of features; just be able to create a switch pair and maybe the ability to save and load configs.

Searching online I found Coldfusion (12RU chassis only option, was hoping for something smaller), Exablaze Hydra(now Cisco) but limited to 40Gb.

Can you suggest some others that are tried and tested? If possible mention approx cost.
