Hey @jpm, what kind of fibre and optics do I want? going to do 2-4 ~10m runs.

I am currently getting in way over my head with a 25 gigabit Mikrotik switch but this started as point to point runs.

Think future-proof, not necessarily cheap but of course some of this shit is going to come #StraightOuttaShenzen

Looks like I might have painted myself into a bit of a corner with some "cheap" SFP28 gear, too, but I'm not too attached

@voltagex remind me tomorrow, but in a nutshell go for 10km 1310nm or 1550nm single-mode if it’s not too much more expensive than 850nm multi-mode. You’ll be able to find everything you need on FS.com

@jpm you misspelled aliexpress dot com. (thanks, night!)

@voltagex @jpm heh. For 10m I’d just do multi mode. It won’t be as badly affected by dirt or scratches like single mode, and is a bit cheaper usually

@s0 I should probably get a proper measurement @jpm

@voltagex @s0 @jpm less than 200m, multi mode. more than a km, single mode. Somewhere in the middle, dealers choice
