uldise Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 looks like sfp+ modules will cost more? Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted December 4, 2018 Author Share Posted December 4, 2018 If you don't need large cables, up to 7m, DAC are pretty cheap, if longer cables are need a fiber module is not that expensive, it's all in the video. Quote Link to comment
1812 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 This is awesome because I am looking to replace my lb4m because while I do use both spf+ ports, I only use 3 of the gigabit ports. a couple cheap gigabit adapters might get me in business. This is what I was considering instead: https://www.amazon.com/Mikrotik-CSS326-24G-2S-RM-Gigabit-Ethernet/dp/B0723DT6MN/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1543950518&sr=8-5&keywords=switch+mikrotik but even then, I don't need all the ports... something to think about now!

But there are a mess with DAC/Card compatibily. i have some Mellanox, and some Brocade cards and some Cisco and Brocade DACs - i was lucky cos i found a combination of these items which pairs is working together..

JorgeB Posted December 4, 2018 Author Share Posted December 4, 2018 Yes, I'm using peer-to-peer for now, 2 dual port NICs on my desktop connected to 4 of my servers, all with DAC cables and had no issues with compatibility, but likely the switch is the one more prone to issues.

They also have network gear that's fairly cheap as well. Since 6.6.6 supports ver 5.5.2 of igxbe, the cheap dual intel ) nics (X520-DA2) are cost-effective, less than $100 a card.

JorgeB Posted April 21, 2019 Author Share Posted April 21, 2019 Just a heads up there's also a new 8 port model, not much more expensive, also fanless, very low power consumption, around 7w with 2 or 3 links, only have it for a few days but very happy so far. 1 Quote Link to comment
kiko Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 The price I see is $170.95 and not $110 a "little" 36% difference from the advertised price? Quote Link to comment
