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.

I use SPF 30 if I?m going to be in the sun all day.

"when you're happy you enjoy the melody but, when you're broken you understand the lyrics".
I picked up two of these to go with my SPF+ switches.
Along with shielded network able that can handle the 10g speed....
I did some testing on some old hardware and found that at least my 5E cable was giving my 1g interface some "fits" so it slowed down to 100/100. The test was to swap out one link of the 5E cable with a cat 6 cable, put that 1gig switch and "poof" - you are at max speed.
This slow down has been observed using some broadcom chip sets when it performs a link test to see what speed it should run at. There were a few warnings about using Cat 5E with that chipset saying it would put it's nose in the air and lock the port to a lower speed. The funny thing is, I have other hardware using the same cables, etc and they say it is all fine and good and run at gigabit speed.
Note: the instruction manual on that picture shows optical SPF+ - while the order form shows copper...
