    Dell 5524p Ubiquiti optics

    I've personally deployed some FS 10GB transceivers together with fiber patch cables. I just hooked them up to my Dell switches. The connection is solid and works very well. Dell 10GbE SFP+ Transceiver Modules | FS.COM

    How can I test if my data cabling, punch-downs & jacks are 100%?

    You will need a cable tester to troubleshoot the cable faults.

    Arista DCS-7050Q-16 transceiver compatibility

    Haven't used Brocade but ordered some QSFP+ DAC cables from FS.COM to connect all our switches (Cisco Nexus 9000 N9K-M6PQ-E). We had no hassle in terms of achieving speed and performance for the Mellanox and Net-gear/CISCO 40G Ethernet switches etc.

    Juniper EX4300 & 10GBASE-T SFP+ RJ45 transceiver

    Many folks purchase 10G copper SFP+ modules from Microtik and FS.COM. Their third-party modules are with high compatibility and you can get with decent price.

    Mellanox Connectx-2 temperature (and alternatives?)

    This equipment should not be operated in an area with an ambient temperature exceeding the maximum recommended: 55°C (131°F). To guarantee proper air flow, allow at least 8cm (3 inches) of clearance around the ventilation openings.

    IP Camera Recommendations

    IP camera requires a license that is not free. If you need to add more cameras then you will need more licenses per cameras. We recommend to use a stand-alone NVR.

    Keystone patch panels - what are my options?

    If I am doing a small install I will buy a patch block and bracket and however many jacks I need. Otherwise I'll use a fixed configuration panel (12, 24, 48 ports) with 110 terminations. Cat5e/Cat6/Blank Keystone Patch Panels & Accessories | FS.COM

    10G Compatibility - Netgear ProSafe GS752TXS

    Yes, the compatibility should be taken into account when connecting two switches. But it seems that this DAC is only compatible with Mellanox, but not with the GS752TXS.

    Looking for a good deal on 10G RJ45 switch with at least 1 10G SPF+ port

    I have installed a couple of this optics in my Cisco 3650 over the past two months, zero failed, and all works fine now. The only regret is that the price of it is more expensive than the 10G fiber SFPs, but it is good to see the price start to drop down.

    Suggestions on Catalyst Switches

    The 4948E switch has fixed configuration with 48 RJ45 ports of 10/100/1000M for downlink and 4 SFP/SFP+ ports of 1/10G for uplink on the front panel. The best advantage is that all these ports can configure themselves to operate at the speed of the attached devices.

    Cisco Switch Pricing

    24 port gigabit switches which can provide 10gbe uplinks would be a good choice.

    Recommend: 10GbE, L2+/L3 switch. VLAN ACLs

    The CRS226-24G-2S+IN is able to power via PoE. With it, one can deploy to nooks and crannies in homes and offices. It can also power the unit through a single Ethernet cable.
