10gb dual NIC

[RojiK]

I know i saw a Dual NIC awhile ago (a few months ago) That had a RJ45 and a SFP+  but i cant seem to find one now. Could anyone lead me in the right direction?

Depending on what you're willing to spend you can easily get a dual port SFP+ NIC then a 10Gig RJ-45 transceiver.

ah thank you @nick name thats the one i saw before , i built a new pc recently and didnt xfer and data from my browser so no history haha

 

@Windows7ge i got fiber to house and the router only has rj45 10gb But i plan to upgrade in the future and dont want to buy one of each but i did consider it ty

Why not just use fiber everywhere? Its cheaper, lower latency, lower power.

You're welcome.

 

And welcome to the forums.

There appear to be external boxes that are converters as well.  Some wildly varying prices too.

@Electronics Wizardy i do plan on fiber everywhere soon but i have to replace my Roof first so i figured i will get a 10gb Nic to use for now as it better then my 1gb on board , then once my roofs done i plan to redo a few rooms and run fiber thru out

 

@nick name Thank you be around awhile lurking but usly just a quite one here haha

I'd imagine you'd need a converter between the modem and a switch?  And then the rest of the home could be fiber?  Do any residential modems/routers have SFP ports?  And then another converter at machines that can't be equipped with an SFP card?

i dont know of any residential ones with SFP+  but i will be getting a 8-16 port fiber router later on  not sure if Managed or unmanaged yet but thats for future learning haha

I was under the impression copper is lower latency over short runs, fiber becomes lower over longer distances due to being able to go much further before it needs repeating.

 

Fiber does use a lot less power though and obviously is not subject to crosstalk / interference.

10g-basesr and 10g-baselr are lower latency than 10g-baset due to how the protocol works. One of the big reasons is its a single stream instead of 4 with rjj45.
