As tittle says, for which NIC should I search ebay?
I need something that will work with OpnSense, Proxmox and TrueNas core. On the other end I have HORACO 2.5GbE Managed Switch 8 x 2.5G + 1 x 10G SFP+ and mikrotik CRS 310. So it needs to work with either and ideally with both. But this...
Seems like a really great deal on Aliexpress at the moment. Patrick went over a few 2.5Gb switches a few times so thid likely would be of the same quality? I'm assuming the Webui or functionality is nothing crazy. Just like with the other Realtek based switches.
Just mostly care about...
I have a few questions and I am hoping for some help understanding and help making a decision.
I am trying to understand the heat/power difference between a 4 port SFP+ switch with 4 x SFP+ to RJ45 modules attached to cat6 cables carrying 10g, vs having a switch that has 4 port rj45 10g...
Hello Community, first post, please be gentle.
I am trying to upgrade my home network to 10Gb.

Hi, i have a desktop and server connected with Solarflare SFN7022F cards, point to point, no switch, using standard copper DAC cables (Cisco SFP-H10GB-CU1M)
I need to move the desktop further away, and need 15 meter cables, but i have no experience. I'm assuming i'm going to need optical cables...
Does anyone have experience with this tiny cheap switch? There were a ton of port numbers and configurations available on AliExpress. The 2xSFP+ 4x2.5Base-T was $35.08 including tax and shipping from China to the US. I was having trouble getting my employer managed computer on its own SubLAN...
My main switch (MikroTik CRS309-1G-8S+IN) is running very hot with 3 10GBASE-T SFP+ transceivers (even spaced in non-agacent ports). I did the popular fan mod but it was loud and only kept the closest port cool.
I have a 10GBASE-T NAS, a 2.5GBASE-T WiFi Router (Multiple VLANS--untagged so it...
I had been looking for an unnecessarily fast router that could handle 5Gb or even 10Gb WAN with a ton of pfblocker and suricata rules enabled... and I think I've finally found it. This was delivered from China in less than 2 weeks.
Truly, we live in a crazy time - this is so much more powerful...

at least 8 PoE+ ports (1GbE or 2.5GbE)
10GbE uplink port (preferably SFP+)

rack-mountable
low idle power consumption
not too loud (will be deployed in a residential building's...
There's been a lot of posts on the Topton N5105 and N6005 boards and it got me looking around for other interesting networking boards. I came across this thing: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804371902281.html ( $319.00 - 379.00)
I haven't made the purchase yet. I'm actually waiting to see...
Hi,
Can anyone speak to the quality of this device (SFP+ version for use with Mikrotik CRS305-1G-4S+IN)
https://www.amazon.com/QNAP-QNA-T310G1S-Thunderbolt-Adaptor-Single-Port/dp/B07KTLP44W?th=1
There are other options but this is the cheapest SFP+ one I have seen.
Hello everyone, I need a little help, I have an edge switch DCS-7050QX-32S-R, which physically has 4 SFP ports (1-4), but at the administration level I don't see them, I only see the QSFP ports, someone do you know what it can be?
Hi all,
I followed all the guides via FCX / ICX6610 - Fohdeesha Docs. And got my icx licensed and setup. I just purchased a single mode duplex lc to lc fiber cable and plugged it into my dell r620 and into one of the ports on my brocade. No link lights on brocade but i have link light on my dell...
I’ve been following STH reviews of 10base-t sfp+ transceivers for a while. Most appear to be based on a Marvell chipset with a 30m rating and 2-3W power draw. This means they get very hot.
Recently, I’ve noticed some manufacturers like FS and 10gtek offering 80m models based on what appears...
