I'm aware the SFP+ cards don't draw too much power, however this will be going in my firewall and I'm looking to maximize runtime on UPS. The reason I'm going to SFP+ is so that I can consolidate to a single "critical" switch in the rack on the primary UPS.
I'd like to keep the cost of the card around or under 50 (ebay is totally fine). The single port cards I have on hand run about 10w (iirc), I'd like to get to or under 5w. My current though is a Connectx-3, is that my best bet?
