    Horaco 2.5GbE Managed Switch (8 x 2.5GbE + 1 10Gb SFP+)

    No. DAC = direct attach cable ( passive ) AOC =[ Active optical cable ( active ) The SFP+ to RJ45 is "Active" but using a copper interface instead of optical. The SFP+ to RJ45 is more like the AOC cable.

    Will a HP FlexFabric dual 10gig card work in a normal pci-e slot?

    One extra caution is the pcie gen and availability of lanes. Examples 533FLR-T is pcie 2.0 x8 ( needs all to full bandwidth of both ports ) 556FLR-SFP is pcie 3.0 x8 ( works perfectly using pcie 3.0 x4 ) 544+FLR-QSFP is pcie 3.0 x8 ( 80Gb/s using both ports limited by 63Gb/s of bandwidth at pcie...

    40 G way below expectations

    I have the same switch ( Mikrotik CRS326-24S+2Q+ ) and use HP 544+FLR-QSFP cards . I see 32-36Gb/s with a DAC cable or with the MIKROTIK. Since isn't mentioned , I gues that the pcie lanes are not enough for that traffic. 40Gb/s needs pcie 3.0 and 8 lanes ( x8 ). Pcie 3.0 1x = 7.8Gb/s (...

    hp 10gbe 523sfp+ firmware upgrade

    Thats an very old Qlogic card. There are no recent updates or drivers. If win11 can support it will be using server 2016/2019 driver if exists. 2500Base-x is newer than SFP+ 10GBase-SR/CR. If the card is based on Qlogic/BCM 57810 or 57840 it can be hacked to works at 2500Base-x or sgmii modes...
