 hexa (clat on linux when) | Redacted or Malformed Event | 13:15:13 |
| hexa (clat on linux when) | ah, lol | 13:15:18 |
| hexa (clat on linux when) | I cannot brain right now, ok | 13:15:26 |
 emily | the one from that post is not interesting to me, because it is gigabit copper | 13:19:06 |
| hexa (clat on linux when) | yeah, same | 13:20:54 |
| hexa (clat on linux when) | but otoh I don't want a full sfp+ switch either for home usage | 13:21:22 |
| hexa (clat on linux when) | copper sfps are too expensive for that 😄 | 13:21:30 |
 adamcstephens | In my understanding they also draw significantly more power | 13:22:11 |
| hexa (clat on linux when) | more than specced for the port, yeah | 13:22:30 |
| hexa (clat on linux when) | otoh dacs tend to use less power than a copper link for some reason I don't grok | 13:22:54 |
| hexa (clat on linux when) | the new double port 10Gbase-T card from intel still uses 5.7W with both ports up | 13:24:29 |
| hexa (clat on linux when) | and an SFP+ module usually eats less than a Watt | 13:24:41 |
| hexa (clat on linux when) | at least up to and including LR optics | 13:25:16 |
| hexa (clat on linux when) | so for anything >5Gbps just use SFP+/SFP28 if you can 🤷 | 13:25:51 |
 magic_rb | A 1gig sfp+ module cant eat that much | 13:27:32 |
| emily | AIUI it's because the range is much less | 13:28:18 |
| emily | like 8P8C would be a lot simpler if it could only go up to 7 m | 13:29:00 |
| emily | instead of 100 | 13:29:05 |
