The two switches would be next to each other in my "server room".

The downside is reduced cable length support and what I assume is an absolute ton of heat output. https://www.cablesandkits.com/cisco-compatible-10gbase-t-sfp-module-rj45-connector-sfp-10g-t-p-10265.html<https://www.cablesandkits.com/cisco-compatible-10gbase-t-sfp-module-rj45-connector-sfp-10g-t-p-10265.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=10265&ne_ppc_id=2221&ne_kw=10265&gclid=Cj0KCQjwwqXMBRCDARIsAD-AQ2h38iIq21O-aAHRwTZnz38BC96Yyu6SaV-QYBZUHYm8RqjsXnIHXHMaAnO4EALw_wcB> http://www.prolabs.com/products/optical-transceivers/cisco/SFP_Plus/SFP-10G-T-C/ https://www.serversupply.com/products/part_search/pid_lookup.asp?pid=264498 I would be somewhat concerned about running a bunch of those in my switch but one or two would probably be fine. You could also look for a standalone media converter that takes SFP+ on one end and delivers 10GBASE-T on the other side—probably the more expensive but safer solution since it’s full power and dumping its heat somewhere that’s not directly into your switch. ---- Jack Kramer, Senior Consultant Small Type Computing--www.smalltype.net<http://www.smalltype.net> W: 855-765-8973 x101 / C: 248-635-4955 On Aug 8, 2017, at 8:55 AM, Webster <webs...@carlwebster.com<mailto:webs...@carlwebster.com>> wrote: I have a SuperMicro server with dual 10GBASE-T ports. I am looking at a Ubiquiti UniFi Switch 16 XG. I know that switch has four 10GBASE-T ports but I plan on using those for my NAS that has 10GBASE-T ports. Is it possible to connect the server's 10GBASE-T ports to an SFP+ port with a specific cable and connectors? If so, any recommendations on what to use?
