- ericd 7y agoNice! OT, but have you seen any reasonably priced RJ45 10GBe out there? Preferably without screaming fans :-)
- linuxdude314 7y agoI haven't. I've also not heard that great of things about it, but we run it in our DCs so I assume it works well enough.
- ericd 7y agoAh, yeah, looking for something for my home office (hence the preference for no screaming 1U fans), so I wouldn't have very long runs. But I have heard that 10 GbE RJ45 can be finicky.
- olavgg 7y agoYou really do not want RJ45 / 10GBase-T for higher network speeds. They consume A LOT more power and has significantly higher latency than SFP+/SFP28 and fiber cables. I have a Brocade ICX 6450 with 4 10G ports in my homelab, replaced the fan with a whisper silent one. Cannot hear and is right next to me. Brocade ICX 6610 has 16 10G ports and 2 40G ports, not super quiet, but not that noisy either.
- ericd 7y agoThe only issue is that I have 3 10 GbE devices, and all are 10GBase-T, so that makes the SFP option less attractive. That said, I'm very much a networking noob, so maybe there's a way to make that work with some sort of copper to SFP bridge or something. Not sure if that would kill the advantages, even if it existed. Good idea on replacing the fan rather than hunting for a quiet router!
