RTL8127 = PCIE 4.0 x1 RJ45
RTL8127AT = PCIE 3.0 x2 (i think maybe also 4.0 x1 but not sure) RJ45
RTL8127AF = PCIE 3.0 x2 (i think maybe also 4.0x1 but not sure) SFP+
got links to those listings?

It doesnt seem to be on alibaba yet only Tmall


just translate that link

it might be worth sending a message to Diewu on alibaba to ask when they are going to list them

Known Diewu RTL8127 Cards
TXA401 PCIe 4.0 x 1 RJ45 RTL8127 (The one i have atm)
TXA403 PCIe 3.0 X 2 SFP+ RTL8127AF
TXA405 PCIe 3.0 X 2 RJ45 RTL8127AT
TXA406 PCIE 4.0 X 1 SFP+

the lane configuration supported by RTL8127ATF was PCIe 4.0 x1 or PCIe 3.0 x2, so it seems that PCIe 3.0 x2 connection is being made on the
board.

The RTL8127ATG and RTL8127AT support either PCIe Gen 3 x2 or PCIe Gen 4 x1 for better compatibility with older motherboards.

Thanks for that info. I just chatted with the Diewu store on Alibaba and they said they'll try to get it added there soon.

Do you know if she's happy with a bunch of 1 piece trial orders? Or should I wait for these to show up on AliExpress?

Nice. I guess I'm buying. Did yours come with both a high and low profile bracket?

Edit: ordered the SFP+ variant. US$41.48 incl taxes to NZ
the 4.0 x1 card did yes the 3.0 x2 card i have only just ordered

it shipped fast this time the 4.0 x1 card took about a week until it was shipped

Why do you guys want to upgrade from a AQC113 to these chipsets? I thought they were the stable ones, unlike their earlier models?

For me it's almost exclusively power consumption. 3.5W is a lot when you need multiple of them and pay 30-40 cents per kWh.

I can't speak for anyone else, but the AQC113 consumes twice the power and pumps out twice as much heat as the RTL8127.

Mainly though, I want SFP+, and Realtek is the first cheap and low power solution for this.

Edit: also, proxmox has a 6.17 kernel available now, and it'll be the default in the next release, so it'll hopefully just work out of the box.

AQC113 + AQC113C is very picky with cables and they just flap for no reason
its RFI related in the end i had to put two ferrite core blocks on every last cable for the pc's to stop it 100%
they where picking up RFI from the USB 3.x devices causing flap

I have solved it but i swore they where going when RTL8127 came out and thats what i have done
I had 6-9 months of hell with them until i finally narrowed it down all AQC113x in the house where doing it no matter how expensive the cable
including a Z690 Aorus Master with AQC113C onboard
Aquantia are very slack with new drivers also where as Realtek are reliable every few months
1.79W max also is nice

Also one of my AQC113C cards doesnt support WOL so wanted that gone anyway
which was the first one i removed when the first RTL8127 Came

According to Spreenow, the HelloTek FR812 SPF+ module, reportedly based on RTL8261C, is rated for 30m.

Spreenow also lists a HelloTek FR813L SPF+ module, rated for 80m. Anyone knows what PHY it is based on?

Edit: HelloTek also lists a FR812C module, which is rated for 80m. Wondering about this one too...

I wondered that, too when buying FR812. They don't even have a real photo since it's just the FR812 photo with the model number blurred. The given power consumptions for both modules are also confusing. The FR812(which is what was shown at Computex) says 1.9W even though it said 1.65W at Computex. The FR813L says 1.25W-1.65W, which on one hand seems to better fit the 1.65W from Computex, but then the 1.25W start of the range is suspiciously low. I don't think it can be anything except realtek since I've never seen 10G RJ45 modules with such low power consumption.

Unfortunately, I've only ordered FR812 (which I haven't received, yet), so I can't check or compare.

These seem to have real pictures on the product pages themselves. the FR812C page has an image of the FR812 module (without the C). The FR813 page has an actual FR813 (no L). Very confusing indeed.
