But isn't SFP+ not compatible with 1G (i.e. can only be used with a 10G network equipment)? If you are selling a machine that people will plug into either a 1gbe or 10gbe network, you'd rather have some interface that can downgrade.
- buildbot 7y agoYou can use SFP in an SFP+ socket, but not the other way around. The downgrade to 1GB would work fine. Since this is still a desk focused machine vs. datacenter, I'd expect most offices to be wired to cat6 ethernet which can do 10GB if needed vs. SFP+ cables or SFP+ to Fiber.
- eropple 7y agoThat, and I'd still expect an RJ-45 port somewhere.
- Hikikomori 7y agoNot always true, it needs explicit support for SFP as it's not backwards compatible.
- Unklejoe 7y agoYou can find SFP+ modules that support both 10G and 1G.
