Since, my doctor recommend that I put more fiber in my diet- I decided to comply.

So.... in a few hours, I will be running a few OS2 runs across my house, with 10G LR SFP+ modules.

Both runs will be from my rack to the office. One run will be dedicated for the incoming WAN connection (Coupled with the existing fiber that.... I don't want to re terminate). The other, will be replacing the 10G copper run already in place, to save 10 or 20w of energy.

This, was sparked due to a 10GBase-T module overheating, and becoming very intermittent earlier this week causing a bunch of issues. After replacing the module, links came back up and started working normally.... but... yea, I need to replace the 10G copper links.

With only twinax and fiber 10G links plugged into my 8-port aggregation switch, it is only pulling around 5 watts, which is outstanding, given a single 10GBase-T module uses more then that.

Edit,

Also, I ordered the wrong modules. BUT... the hard part of running the fiber is done!
