Does this have a legitimate use in 2024?
No RJ45 considered harmful and deprecated by SFP+
It connects my computer to the internet uwu
>>101551428Goes up to 5Gbit/s on Cat5e, so old infrastructure can be modernized.For 10Gbit/s it's too energy inefficient to be useful at scale.Fiber gear has gotten dirt cheap.>>101551450You mean SFP28?
>>101551492I don't think that supports copper
>>101551553SFP28? Of course it does. Same with QSFP28.
I plug it into a Ethernet to USB adapter which is plugged into a USB C to USB adapter which is plugged into my phone when I want to back up my camera faster than wifi.
>>101552504Why not plug in USB 3 Gen 2 Type C into your phone and the Type A end in your Computer, without going over Ethernet?
>>101552581Because my router literally has an empty port and I don't feel like mounting things to my server.
>>101552504Nice
>>101551428you are right, it does not. now crawl back under your rock faggot.
>>101551428Yeah fibre requires stupid converter boxes everywhere. Or you can do the needful and just have all the ports via RJ45 inserts in the switch itself.
>>101551428110mb/s still good enough for me for anything with low ping.
>>101552870Making meagre local backups would take ~week on that kind of connection
>>101551492How do we enable these 5gbit speeds on our cat5e cables?
>>101552931I don't have that problem, I also don't torrent movies that much, they're the only reason why it isn't instant.
>>101552981Torrents rarely require backups unless they're very rare and unobtanium, backups of your own stuff can be irreplaceable. I could of course spend effort to reduce the size, but I could buy a better network card for an hours worth of work and go 40gbit/s
>>101552965you need to cut the wire going to the left most contact
>>101552965A really short cable
>>101553177yes, and also cut wire going to the leftmost contact
>>101552965You need NICs that can do 5gbit/s on both sides, and a fast switch, unless it is a direct connection.For 5gbit/s NICs, you cannot use the USB ones, because they only use Gen 1 USB and can effectively do 3gbit/s.Most consumer hardware is 2.5gbit/s these days, cat5e works fine for this and it is fast enough for a HDD based NAS.
>>101553264and don't forget to cut the leftmost wire
>>101553321Stop suggesting that. It makes mustard gas.
>>101553334but the leftmost wire prevents you from reaching 5g levels of awesomeness. you have to cut it.
>>101553040Or just keep it all on the local device. I don't need faster Ethernet. What do you make that's so large?
>>101553560I don't really like the idea of having a backup in the same space and privilege as my main system, human error just becomes really likely at that point to delete both at same time. I could run fully virtualized and pass-through'd on a single machine for same effect, but that's again more work and more complexity. Backups majorly benefit from simplicity
>>101553852Ok so, what huge files do you need to backup daily again?
>>101553264>>101553334Ty for advice
>>101554003all the movies I downloaded but never am going to watch
>>101554009you are welcome
>>101554003Literally everything I've worked on? 110mb/s would be pure pain to do anything while it'd be running for hours and hours.
>>101554018See >>101553040
>>101554049I accept your concession.
>>101551428Still reigns supreme for horizontal cabling because >>101552844>Yeah fibre requires stupid converter boxes everywhere.Once there's ubiquitous terminal equipment that can do fiber - or rather SFP/SFP+ because there's so many types of fiber to chose from - we can talk about copper being obsolete. I reckon that's at least 10 years from now, more like 20.
>>101551492>>101557656you need 10g copper for furnishing PoE++/UPOE connections to WAPs in an enterprise and ESPECIALLY for upcoming wifi 7. fiber is incapable of power delivery so copper will literally never go away. WAP distribution gets hung off of C9300-24/48-UX/M type devices very commonly for this exact reason.if you dont know what you're talking about dont comment
1Gbps is still fine for home use. Sooner or later you hit a wall; you don't download or suck as much bandwidth as you used to on a daily basis. I've got a small server, 60TB total capacity, 50% of that space is still free. But anyway doing a full backup of all 60TB (assuming I hit that mark) would take awhile but that's only a one time deal. Incremental backups does/would take far less time.
No. USB C is literally the best cable for everything but greedy mfs don't want you to know that.
