Now you know one of Amazon’s dirty secrets. “In stock now” does not necessarily mean in this hemisphere, and you don’t find that out until you place the order. -- richard

I changed the 10G switch to a Netgear one, everything has been ordered and should start arriving tomorrow. Ordering cables was the only setback. Even though Amazon would state they had them in stock, when I went to complete the order, every cable would show "to be delivered in 1 to 4 weeks". Tried multiple vendors and had the same result for all of them. Oh well, I will get everything connected to the 10G switch when the cables do show up. Watch for an updated lab article on my site.

I have never worked with 10GbE before and never thought of adding it to the lab but that UBNT 10G switch looked affordable considering the cost of other 10G managed switches.

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://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cablesandkits.com%2Fcisco-compatible-10gbase-t-sfp-module-rj45-connector-sfp-10g-t-p-10265.html%3Futm_source%3Dgoogle%26utm_medium%3Dcpc%26utm_term%3D10265%26ne_ppc_id%3D2221%26ne_kw%3D10265%26gclid%3DCj0KCQjwwqXMBRCDARIsAD-AQ2h38iIq21O-aAHRwTZnz38BC96Yyu6SaV-QYBZUHYm8RqjsXnIHXHMaAnO4EALw_wcB&data=02%7C01%7Crichard.mcclary%40aspca.org%7C83fbbf2f03d64158fe9008d4df2f977e%7Cfcf2ac976f3c48da912a7a446e6b4f54%7C0%7C0%7C636378842872430993&sdata=Ze7LtH4HTWHrJ9aFpc5Lx3YBR1HHTD8ed2%2FqsCpjnlU%3D&reserved=0> http://www.prolabs.com/products/optical-transceivers/cisco/SFP_Plus/SFP-10G-T-C/<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.prolabs.com%2Fproducts%2Foptical-transceivers%2Fcisco%2FSFP_Plus%2FSFP-10G-T-C%2F&data=02%7C01%7Crichard.mcclary%40aspca.org%7C83fbbf2f03d64158fe9008d4df2f977e%7Cfcf2ac976f3c48da912a7a446e6b4f54%7C0%7C0%7C636378842872430993&sdata=4VwqJzFj8YLJ7u63SylpjX%2FwBLADU%2FcgzqHeGxbpEw8%3D&reserved=0> https://www.serversupply.com/products/part_search/pid_lookup.asp?pid=264498<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.serversupply.com%2Fproducts%2Fpart_search%2Fpid_lookup.asp%3Fpid%3D264498&data=02%7C01%7Crichard.mcclary%40aspca.org%7C83fbbf2f03d64158fe9008d4df2f977e%7Cfcf2ac976f3c48da912a7a446e6b4f54%7C0%7C0%7C636378842872430993&sdata=kaJIwwJ6zaZAS8N2VKhuB8RokiPQ%2Bw3GYpg%2Fe8cL2bs%3D&reserved=0> 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<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.smalltype.net&data=02%7C01%7Crichard.mcclary%40aspca.org%7C83fbbf2f03d64158fe9008d4df2f977e%7Cfcf2ac976f3c48da912a7a446e6b4f54%7C0%7C0%7C636378842872430993&sdata=8Eyqif8AX4k4pHFcWWE9Lf8CB%2BLet6Yj5SnhGujy7s0%3D&reserved=0> 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.

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?
