yes, well you can get a cheap transceiver for that. You're still going to have to talk to something else and that all goes out the window if you have existing copper in your house or need to have wired devices (NAS, smart TV, xbox, literally anything at all). You probably can't even find a wifi AP that has SFP+ that doesn't cost you 3 arms and 5 legs.
- eqvinox 5y ago> yes, well you can get a cheap transceiver for that. Yes, exactly. I feel like you haven't finished your thought ;) If you have a SFP+ slot, you can plug in a cheap SFP+ 10Gbase-T transceiver. Or a SFP+ fiber transceiver. Or a DAC cable. If you have a 10Gbase-T port, you're stuck and need to buy and power a switch (or, recently, media converter) to get to anything else. And you're now wasting power for 2 10Gbase-T PHYs that are completely pointless for a very short link. Of course you'll be using a bunch of 10Gbase-T for anything where you have existing copper runs that are good enough quality to actually run 10Gbase-T. I'm just saying (1) you shouldn't be using 10Gb-T for cabling things that are next to each other, and (2) you shouldn't be running copper cabling for new installations that you're building explicitly to get 10G over.
