Help with recommending a transceiver for Mellanox ConnectX-3 40GB QSFP Dual Port PCI-E Network Card - CX354A

[snailbrain]

Hey,

 

I'm going 10Gb Ethernet (because already have cat6a all in place.

After getting half of my network done and working I came to unraid with my used card i ordered from ebay and realized it doesn't have SFP+ connector for my transceiver.

 

is it possible and can i even get one for QSFP > 10gb ethernet? If so can someone recommend one (cheap but reliable, used is fine).

Thanks in advance

learning experience.. got the wrong card (same cards with different ports), should have got a sfp+ 

for this you would need 2 tranceivers to go rj54 - a qfsp > sfp+ > ethernet

instead I ordered a 10gbe ethernet card.. 

hope helps someone else.
