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!

    Shit, glad you caught that…

    I ordered the wrong modules…

    But, I should have a pair of LR modules around here somewhere… hopefully.

    Double shit, I don’t have any LR optics. On the plus side, the hard part is over…

      Arent SR modules okay for your run length? It doesn’t look like you have >300m (ca. 2 football fields if you are american) from your rack to your office

        Yup, SR modules would have been perfectly fine to use.

        I mistakenly thought my WAN connection came in with LC-LC LR too, instead, it runs over GPON.

        Just wanted to do something a tad different, since I already have a ton of MMF ran around here.
