For me, why I like sfp+ is using optical cables between main equipment (ubiquiti 10Gb SFP+ distribution switch) . If there is a storm and lightning strikes next to the house. Whole equipment should not burn (mainly NAS)

I have now ordered an SFP for 2.5 GB RJ45 copper. Up to 100 meters. 1GB is also supported.

Good video on differentiating SFP and SFP+ transceivers !

Was looking to find out why do some manufactures make their SFP/SFP+ equipment proprietary? What is different in an HPE transciever that does not allow it to work with another, non-HPE equipment? I find it easier and less expensive to use a DAC cable, but with HPE gear this does not work. I know some third party transceiver/cable manufactures will create a custom cable with the appropriate brand specific transceiver on either end, but then what good is the MSA - as this breaks interoperability?

great video, which caught my eye. is that with the two videos about sfp+ module one green and one blue is shown, this is upc and apc patch cable

Hello thanks for the tutorial. I have a Cisco SG300 10P and a Cisco SG350 10P . In the front they have 2 connectors labeled SFP . Does it mean it only works with SFP or I could use SFP+ as well ?. Thanks.

So if I have a 1G internet connection will that work with a 10G connector that I already have? Or do I need to get 1G connectors?

did you help me

If I was using the Media Converter for a fiber cable that is under 30m, do I still need a transceiver?

[shannonhoward]

Could you explain that to most “I.t.” People?!

[allansh]

how tf can I unplug those transceivers?

Where would SFP benefit my home network? I have 3 computers I want to access from internet for family to store photos and videos. I have 30 32esp / 8266 smart devices hard wired for home.
I have 4 computers for internet access in living room for me / guest. I have 3 computers in kitchen hidden except display and pullout mouse/keyboard. Office has 5 computers I monitor smart and security. One also strictly security cameras. Each bedroom has guest computer and wall rj45 to connect their computer when visiting.

Detached workshop / office has 2 computers for researching parts, ordering supplies.

With clarification, I can move on buying proper infrastructure cable/switches/etc.

Ping here your telephone number.
