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

@voltagex right, brain engaged, i think, so let's talk high-speed ethernet and the SFP family of optics.

@voltagex Ok, SFPs. Little rectangles, about THAT big, one end goes into network-related thingo, other end goes into cable

@jpm I am good up to 10 gig, above 10 gig appears to be pain, suffering and potential hazards to my eyesight
