    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.

    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...
