 emily | like I said a quick AliExpress search turned up a $95 switch | 14:53:33 |
 matthewcroughan | oh, I kind of want this in a timely manner and am not worried about spending an extra 30 quid | 14:53:50 |
| matthewcroughan | but in totality, this is more expensive than just giving up and using 2.5G | 14:54:01 |
| matthewcroughan | primarily just because of the SFPs | 14:54:16 |
| emily | and one SFP+ was already priced in for the connection to the BPI, so that gives you an £18.44 per SFP module budget before it stops being cheaper | 14:54:23 |
| emily | which is doable with AliExpress multipacks I think | 14:54:28 |
| matthewcroughan | no guarantee they're broadcom ones though right? | 14:54:49 |
| emily | I mean, you just look up the modules. | 14:55:06 |
| emily | I don't think any of the Broadcom ones I found on Amazon clearly did autoneg right | 14:55:17 |
| matthewcroughan | how do you know they're broadcom, do you disassemble them and look at the chip/ | 14:56:54 |
