But my internet is only 5Mbps

But why would anyone need 10Gbit internet?

Good video though even if there are some stupid comments

500$ gets you a 20+ RJ45 10g ports Arista 10gbit switch, with extra 10g SFP+ ports, or 40g QSFP+ ports

 

Example: 

 

20 x 10g RJ45 + 4 x SFP+ 10g : https://www.ebay.com/itm/Arista-DCS-7120T-4S-F-20x-10GBASE-T-4x-10G-SFP-Ports-Ethernet-Switch/143354981159?

 

700$ inc. shipping  Arista DCS-7050T-52 48x 1/10GBase-T RJ-45 & 4x 10G SFP+ Ports Switch

 

Surprised you didn't just put fiber, you could have pulled 4 strands or more once ...use one for 10g or 4 for 40g or 25g or 100g later.

 

Here's SFP+ 10g switches :

 

450$ for 52 10g ports : Refurbished: Arista 7050S-52 52x 10GbE SFP+ Ports Switch - UNIXPlus.com

590$ for 48 + 4 x 40g : Refurbished: Arista DCS-7050S-64 48-Port 10G SFP+ 4x QSFP+ - UNIXPlus.com

Glad to see them using Mikrotik. Also glad Linus didn't get to see the GUI to roast it. The reason it wasn't reachable because it's staticly set to 88.1. @LinusTech you should get in and update it. There have been a ton of bug and performance fixes for CRSxxx lately.

 

To note when he was explaining the differences

1. 6a is a larger guage

2. 5e can do 10gig easily up to 30m

[brandishwar]

MikroTik's offerings are a great value for the money. I have the CRS317, which I bought to replace the Quanta LB6M for my 10GbE network.

did not linus get 10gig like 2 years ago?

What's the US equivalent to Infinite Cable?  Those prices are great but shipping down here is rough.

maybe check monoprice.com in the US

Not equivalent but it's a decent price :

 

199$ / 1000ft : CAT6A -  Networking Cable, Unshielded, Cat6a, 23 AWG, 0.26 mm², 1000 ft, 304.8 m

 

If you don't mind Cat6 (which is good for 10g up to around 40-50 meter lengths) :

 

(sale, clearing stock)  44$ / 1000ft : CAT6-GY -  Networking Cable, Unshielded, Cat6, 23 AWG, 0.26 mm², 1000 ft, 304.8 m

(discount, ~30$ off) 95$ / 1000ft. : CAT6-WT -  Networking Cable, Unshielded, Cat6, 23 AWG, 0.26 mm², 1000 ft, 304.8 m

 

I didn't deal with this company, but they claim wholesale prices and the have cat6a at reasonable prices: https://www.primuscable.com/store/c/382-CAT-6A-Ethernet-Cable.aspx?sort=PriceAsc

You need the tool called Winbox to find your Mikrotik on the network.

admin in the default user with no password

YouTube comments are only there for the laughs, you can't reason with stupid people.

Web GUI is enabled by default as well. Winbox isnt a must need but does make access easier

how much for a repeater?

 $0.20 a foot aint bad for regular price, but cant beat $0.05/ft on sale!

 

whats the difference in the conductor between 6 and 5e/5

must be all in the shielding, foil and different kfc blend for insulator material?

[Aluavin]

Someone can recomend something similiar as the ASUS Switch? I'm searching for something like this but with 3 10GB (RJ45)Ports (Server, 2 PCs) Currently I'm using SFP+ but thats 2 extra cables flying around in the office - which is a inconvenience.

a repeater would be a network switch. RJ45 switches are expensive.

 

Difference between cat6 and cat5e is better wire quality, better precision when twisting the wire pairs (not sure but may be different number of twists per inch compared to cat5 or cat5e), separating the pairs of wires along the length of the cable using a plastic X style spacer which give extra "noise" isolation to each pair, additional shielding from outside interference using various metallic foils or meshes under the sleeve.

 

Note that if you do want good cable, you also need proper Cat6 or higher ethernet jacks, not the cheap $0.5 or less jacks.

For short distances, like 5 meters or less (servers in a rack) you're better off with fiber.

Direct Attach copper cables are more expensive, but switches and network cards are cheaper (you get 24+ 10g ports for 2-300$ and 10g network cards are 20-30$)

Even on longer distances it's reasonable... ex 15m+ you can buy 2 transceivers for ~ 10-15$ each and then the actual fiber is cheap, around 12$ for 15 meters, 20$ for 30 meters ... examples:

You are better off with fiber at any length. Fiber is not that expensive, cheaper SFPs, scalable, less heat, less power, less issues in the long run, less amount of run space in the rack. Going copper if you have a choice between copper and fiber has been a bad decision for the last few years.

FiberStore is where I've bought most of my fiber transceivers and cables for my home network. Fiber patch cables are less bulky than Cat5E cable for the indoor-rated ones, and you can combine multiple fiber lines into one trunk cable. A lot of the fiber patch cable available today can support some really tight bend radii as well. Fiber not only uses less power, but it's also ultra-low latency even across long distances - OM4 can support up to 400m without breaking a sweat.

how much is a fiber splice tool?

that stuff used to be really expensive

You are not buying a fiber splice tool nor needing one. Ours cost $36,000

You don't have to buy one. You can get premade patch cords... see links I posted above for LC-LC cables.

You can also custom order various lengths of cable.

 

Of course, the connectors at the ends are kinda wide, so you can't really push them through a drilled hole but you can usually find some workarounds.

[Granular]

I wouldn't say that the name is terrible. It's a switch. The name tells you the product line (hence capabilities of the switch asic) and the letters after that tell you port count and type. What else do you want from it?

Also, you should really log into it to change the password. Just because you're not interested in the management features, doesn't mean there won't be someone or something else on your network that will be interested in them.
