Jeff edits on a Mac with a 10 gigabit nic; he says as much in the article. Unless he's in an odd duck situation with an SFP device connected to his Mac I'm not sure what value going to SFP and back would add?
- geerlingguy 4y agoSFP is nice for the switch-to-device connection. It lets you choose between DAC (cheap and easy to route) if you're close enough, fiber, or copper (your choice). If I had an option, I'd use SFP+ everywhere. But copper is usually a little simpler for consumer/prosumer devices. Someone does make a Thunderbolt to SFP+ adapter but that things like $300!
- technofiend 4y agoYeah that $300 device didn't seem like anything you'd use for a budget setup, so unless you need the distance advantage of SFP+ over copper, I don't see a reason to use it. Other than it's cool, of course. Which may be reason enough. :-)
