Dear All,
I was reading the "SFP+ to 10Gbase-T Adapter Module Buyers Guide" with quite some interest, as I have an existing CAT6a network, but could gate fairly cheap business 10G switches with SFP+ ports. As I need Nbase-T capabilities and most of the 10G SFP+ switches I'm currently watching at do not support Nbase-T, I was wondering this would change, if I use some of the SFP+ to 10G adapters offering Nbase-T.
So far I thought, that a transceiver would only bridge the connection from SFP+ to RJ45, but after reading the a.m. buyers guide I got the impression, as if the adapters could really add value by adding Nbase-T capabilities.
Can you help and enlighten me, what is correct?
Kind regards,
Steffen
