Shallowest 48 port POE switch?

Hey guys,

I need to replace an access switch that is currently mounted sideways in one of those structured media cabinets. We currently have a Ubiquiti Edgeswitch 24 port POE that is mounted there, but we have run out of ports and need 48. Unfortunately, there is no additional room to stack another 24 port switch, and the Ubiquiti 48 port model is too long to fit here.

Does anyone know of a good shallow PoE switch that can fit sideways in a wall (16" on center, so 10-12" depth would be ideal). Normally, I'd steer clear of brands like Netgear, and gravitate towards Juniper, Cisco, Arista or whatever, but if theres something that works, we'd consider netgear. Also, SFP+ ports would be ideal, as the current switch only has SFP.

I know it would be ideal to just place a small rack here and get whatever switch works, but unfortunately, due to the geometry, this will not work (this is mounted to a wall behind a door, and the mounting location is otherwise perfect). Also, we dont need L3, but it would be nice.
