Yes, it's very cheap and getting cheaper. Since its price fell to the point I thought was cheap, my home has a 10 GigE fiber backbone, 2 switches in my main centers of computers, lots of 10 GigE NICs in servers, and even dual 10 GigE adapters in a Thunderbolt 3 external adapter for my primary

Yes but as much as I like fibre; it's too fragile for the average household structured cabling real world use case. Not to mention nothing consumwe comes with SFP+ in the home space. On Fri, 17 Dec 2021, 10:43 am David Lang, wrote: > another valuable featur of fiber for home use is that fiber ca
