10GBase-T over SFP+

[Scheer]

Fiber is Fiber, CAT is CAT

 

Absolutely not... no idea where you heard that from.

So 30m, om3, lc to lc is correct?

How's this one? http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=380804555952

Yes I am going p2p, shouldn't need a switch.

By the looks of it, I'd say yes that's the one.

 

I hope you don't need the cable to go through a wall. You will need a big hole.

Duplex LC will fit thru a 3/8" hole if you split them and fold a connector backwards, you just have to be nice when bending the fiber of the connector going thru backwards, you can also split the fibers by a foot or so and feed one connector after another without one being backwards and then take up the slack of the second. I believe it was 5/8" that the entire duplex connector goes thru just fine.

 

The day we got our OTDR tester I was curious of how much you can bend fiber before the fiber itself breaks or at least starts to have data issues, so I did some experimenting. You can even jam it thru a 1/4" hole backwards, but it won't work after you get it thru...

Will be going through wall, 5/8ths isnt too big at all. cheers

Just took the module out of the card, and it is this module: http://www.amazon.com/Fiberxon-10G-1310nm-Transceiver-FTM-83X0C-X03CG/dp/B00IDKYR7Q

 

As this is xfp, does this change anything?

Does it matter if the other card has a sfp+ transceiver?

 

Cheers!

This might cause problems, yes. The XFP and SFP+ connectors are physically different.

 

However, as long as you're using the same kind of cable (multi-mode vs single-mode) and the same speed protocol, then a cable with the right connectors on each end might work.

 

@Scheer you seem to have some knowledge on the subject. Do you have any input on this?
