I keep reading about SFP+ 10G RJ45 transceivers not working in a NIC because of power usage, where SFP+ is much lower then RJ45.
But, that information is some years old and looking at the Optcore Mellanox transceiver the description mentions it should work.
So, will it work?
Situation: Switch with two multi-gig RJ45 ports and two SFP+ 10G ports.
The SFP+ ports will be used for two servers, one of the multi-gig for my desktop.
In the desktop I would like to put a Mellanox Connect-3 NIC using a SFP+ 10G RJ45 transceiver.
