 hexa | ohh, I linked the wrong one 😄 | 13:15:00 |
 magic_rb | That is not cheap lol | 13:15:04 |
 emily | oh, no you linked the right one | 13:15:11 |
| emily | I just linked the other one | 13:15:12 |
| hexa | Redacted or Malformed Event | 13:15:13 |
| hexa | ah, lol | 13:15:18 |
| hexa | 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 | yeah, same | 13:20:54 |
| hexa | but otoh I don't want a full sfp+ switch either for home usage | 13:21:22 |
| hexa | copper sfps are too expensive for that 😄 | 13:21:30 |
 adamcstephens | In my understanding they also draw significantly more power | 13:22:11 |
| hexa | more than specced for the port, yeah | 13:22:30 |
| hexa | otoh dacs tend to use less power than a copper link for some reason I don't grok | 13:22:54 |
| hexa | the new double port 10Gbase-T card from intel still uses 5.7W with both ports up | 13:24:29 |
| hexa | and an SFP+ module usually eats less than a Watt | 13:24:41 |
| hexa | at least up to and including LR optics | 13:25:16 |
| hexa | so for anything >5Gbps just use SFP+/SFP28 if you can 🤷 | 13:25:51 |
