    starting the slow process of upgrading parts of my home network - the odd looking "holes' on the right are for SPF+ ports

    i noticed that my old computer does have a 1 gig port - not sure why it is running at 100 meg so if I get some Cat 8 cable - I will test out if the build in network can't hang at 1gig

    You don't need CAT8 or CAT7 or even CAT6 to run 1gig. I'm running CAT5e throughout my house and any device that's capable of 1gig speeds is running 1gig speeds.

    Oh so true - but the device supports an SPF+ port which can run 10G -
    which will be the high speed upgrade - the back bone should be garage, basement, bedroom

    I have a few CAT 7 cables - the fine print says they are not quite RJ-45 in size - but they do seem to fit. I am looking
    at fiber optic run due to the low cost of some of the cables.

    Considering the run location, I want shielded cables because they are close to a few power runs. So CAT 6E I believe has the shielding as part of the spec.

    What I did not include was a lower end version of that router that runs with 4 SPF+ ports and 1 gig WAN/config port which will end up having the normal 1g side of the house.

    I went cheap on the SPF+ modules - or should I say SPF at 1.1 gig transmission rate. The basement side will have
    the NAS hardware. Once the hardware looks to be useful; I will upgrade a few of the servers with SPF+ ports so I can
    enjoy the speed.

    SFP

    Some old school still call them GBIC's, or even mini-GBIC, but the two are physically different.

    No... It's new. It's one of the O1911C Classic guns with the pre 70 series styling and roll marks. Pretty nice gun.
