10 gig link

[Matt1632]

I have a CAT6 cable that cannot be changed out that I need to push 10gig through.

The way it is currently set up would lend itself to being changed out on one end for a SFP+ to ethernet adapter plugged into my unifi aggregation switch and on the other a 10gig ethernet switch. 

I don't know if going from sfp+ adapted to ethernet to a 10gig ethernet port is compatible.

 

If someone knows can they please clear this up for me. I'm kinda a noob with fibre standards (all I've done up to this point has been multimode fibre runs that are very generic)

That's literally what SFP+ to Ethernet is designed to do, should be no problems short of the cable not being able to handle 10Gbit.

I wasn't certain, thanks for clearing that up

the length is only 5m and its better than normal cat 6 so it shouldn't drop too many packets if its pushed to 10g
