10g fiber SFP+ adapters:
mellanox connectx2 en - 2 of them
Chelsio T422-cr
Possible switches to be purchased in future:
Dell X1052 or D-Link DGS-1510-28X
To preface i'm just a hobbyist and this is my first foray into fiber. Hence the questions.
Server rack in basement wiring area
Distances:
Chelsio - in sophos utm in rack - cable length needed less than 1 meter
mellanox card 1 - supermicro 846 server - in rack - cable length needed less than 3 meter
mellanox card 2 - 1st floor office - my main pc - 10 feet with measuring tape directly measuring - will need wall plate - run would go through the floor joists and plaster wall (ethernet cable currently already in place this way)
To purchase:
direct connect dac twinax cable x 2 for cards in the rack.
transceivers x2
om4 fiber - 7 meters or more?
fiber wall plate
wall plate fiber adapters
more om4 fiber for wall plate to adapter connection
So for my upstairs pc, what do I need to get for a wall plate from say fiberstore? Also i believe it was mentioned to get double the length you measure due to low bending ability of the fiber?
I'm thinking OM4 fiber but not sure what connectors, transceivers or how to do the wall plate. Wall plates seem to be available as fc, sc, and st ( the LC plate doesn't appear to have adapters) - looked over this page: Wall Plates Tutorial | FS.COM
Any help is much appreciated
