Hi everyone,
I'm pulling my hair out trying to understand how to get to a 10gbe connection.
1) I ordered a Chelsio T520. This uses an SFP+ connection
2) This means I need to have an SFP+ cable to go to whatever router/switch I end up using.
3) Most routers/switches I'm seeing have one SFP+ port, followed by a bunch of gigabit (not 10gbe) ports.
4) The ones that have multiple SFP+ ports don't help, because I'm using Cat6a cable up to my wall jack, followed by my MOBO having a 10gbe RJ45 connection
So... anyone know where I can find a router/switch that has an SFP+ port PLUS actual 10gbe RJ45 ports that doesn't cost ~$1,000?
Or, any other recommendations?
Thank you
