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 needs it's own port), and a 2.5GBASE-T employer computer (only device on a "work" VLAN) all connected to SFP+ to 10GBASE-T transceivers which run very hot even when functioning at 2.5G. The NAS is a neccessary evil but can I get dedicated SFP+ to 2.5GBASE-T transceivers which put out significantly less heat that 10GBASE-T being used as 2.5GBASE-T?
For everything else 2.5GBASE-T I am using unmanaged switches on their own VLAN with 1 or 2 SPF+ ports to do the conversion and those are all connected with DAC in the same room and MMF in other rooms as in a managed switch on the far end of the house. Unfortunatley in a few cases I need RJ45 transceivers.
