How do you use twinax on a 1GB lan? Attach between one compute endpoint and another and there's 10GB connectivity between the two? how's that work? google is gay

if you're using 10gbe nics then of course it will be 10gbe
what's the problem

You need 10Gb NICs with twin sfp+ connections in both computers if you want 10Gb. They cost about $270 each. Twinax doesn't work like Ethernet in the sense that you have to have a DTE and DCE sides where you would need either a switch or a cross-over cable to connect two like devices. Twinax uses one side for transmit and one side for receive so they can be directly attached to like devices.

they dont you retard, $16 each shipped

Auto-MDIX has been standard since 1GbE, this isnt the 1990s with 10/100Mb ethernet where you need crossover cables

So it's basically plug and play assuming I have all the hardware? How do I make sure it's transferring over twinax and not ethernet if both are present?

anyone know what the dominant fiber standard is inside the home? I'm confused by all the choices
this is as bad as tape backup standards.
>tldr which types do I need to know so I can ignore the rest?

LC will be dominate pretty much everywhere unless you're using 40/50/100GbE which would use MPO
Easton Peterson
om3 fiber terminated to whatever is what I see everywhere
Ryan Flores
He will need dual port NICs for twinax, which are more expensive. Unless you're buying used equipment. Because, like I said, one port is used for Tx and the other is used for Rx.
Jayden Mitchell
All of the square ones look more sexy and seem more satisfying to connect than RJ45.
Jayden Brown
OM3 is a type of fiber, not a connector you retard. OPs pic is of connectors, not mediums.
>He will need dual port NICs for twinax
No he wont you retard
>Because, like I said, one port is used for Tx and the other is used for Rx.
You have no idea how a NIC even works
Levi Reed
I don't, I just know enough to get by my focus at work is separate from most networking
Sebastian Bell
Just buy a Cisco 3750E or a HP 5800 and be done with it, because you're too lazy to spend an hour reading.
>I just know enough to get
You clearly dont since this is a babys first networking question.
Jason Brooks
no shit, but he asked about the fiber standard
Chase Ward
He was referring to connectors you retard as evidenced by his picture which features both single and multi mode cabling
Hudson Nelson
so you think steering him into realizing that there's more important things to fiber than the connector is a bad thing?
Jonathan Foster
>so you think steering him into realizing that there's more important things to fiber than the connector is a bad thing?
Its pointless and you're desperately trying to engage in damage control. OP is a poorfag and a retard. As such he is going to buy whatever is cheapest. He isnt going to spend more on optics than he will on the NIC to get single mode optics. The same goes with fiber, SM1/2 is more expensive than the OM varieties. 10GbE will work just fine over OM1 for his purposes.
And considering that the two pcs are likely right next to each other, even using SM fiber with MM optics will likely work for such a short distance

I don't want to buy more gear and I have what's appropriate today, just had a difficult time finding the right answers. Faggot nigger

no

alright i take it all back you're alright
Aaron Morgan
In that case, if you dont want to spend $150 to do it right. put the 10gbe nics in their own subnet, and only ever connect to them via the IP assigned to the 10gbe.
James Walker
>if you dont want to spend $150 to do it right
$130 shipped
Daniel Gonzalez
that makes sense, thanks m8. I have a shit ton of fiber and 10 and 16gb sfps lying around but no other gear to take advantage of that yet, someday.
Carter Russell
okay, why don't we just have LAN, but over a larger area?
boom! meshnet.
