(for reference) Netgear MS510TX
Can someone who is currently running this switch recommend either an SFP+ DAC or a Copper Module that is friendly with the unit ?
I am going to connect my media server to the SFP+ port on the switch, within a 3-10ft total run length and want to keep it simple with either cat6 or a DAC.
If I go Copper, I will grab an Intel x520-T or x540-T for simplicity.
if going with a DAC or modules at both ends, I will go with either a Mellanox CX-2 or CX-3 (depending on the motherboard board I use, pcie-gen2 or 3).
Sadly, it will be a Windows box, being semi-replaced and pieced back together from an existing Windows box.
I welcome all suggestions, including cards/cables/modules. The easier the better.
Thanks in advance,
Allan
