 K900 | It's a wall socket | 10:52:01 |
 matthewcroughan - nix.zone | I hate this | 10:52:03 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | It has those little inserts that go into the wall socket | 10:52:18 |
| K900 | If it drops your signal integrity by enough to matter | 10:52:20 |
| K900 | That's already a problem | 10:52:27 |
| K900 | Also if you're going to run 10G over copper, like, just don't | 10:53:35 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Oh no it's just for the "last mile" internally in the space | 10:54:18 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | rooms will be interconnected by LC | 10:54:22 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | there'll be a 10G switch that is fed by a fiber | 10:54:52 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | * there'll be a 10G switch that is fed by a fiber via sfp | 10:54:57 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | then there'll be short 10G runs, maximum of 10 meters | 10:55:16 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | * then there'll be short 10G cat6 runs, maximum of 10 meters | 10:55:25 |
| K900 | From what exactly | 10:55:52 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | bpi-r4 | 10:55:56 |
| K900 | And to what | 10:55:58 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | bpi-r4 -> some 10g switch -> laptops | 10:56:04 |
| K900 | Because 10G copper is not exactly common | 10:56:08 |
| K900 | And it gets VERY HOT | 10:56:12 |
| K900 | And it's unlikely a laptop will ever have it | 10:56:21 |
|  Spaenny joined the room. | 10:56:31 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | yeah that does worry me, but I'm happy as long as the bpi-r4 isn't experiencing the heat | 10:56:35 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | I don't trust that it could take it | 10:56:43 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Let's say this random unmanaged switch I just found on amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/Switch-Unmanaged-Adapters-Switching-Capacity-black/dp/B0CZKHHD4D | 10:58:07 |
 magic_rb | Some motherboards have 10 gig copper but ive never in my life seen anything beyond 1gig on a laptop | 10:58:13 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | you can get a 10g USB C thingy | 10:59:25 |
 toonn | I thought 2.5 Gb ethernet was becoming commonplace on laptops? Or is that always Thunderbolt? | 11:00:04 |
| magic_rb | Yes but that point you can get a 10 gig sfp usbc thingie with a fiber module | 11:00:10 |

I thought 2.5 Gb ethernet was becoming commonplace on laptops? Or is that always Thunderbolt? Always thunderdock, whats commonplace now is not having a ethernet | 11:00:26 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Okay yes, but actually creating the infra to provide SFP -> SFP is more difficult | 11:00:43 |
