Until you actually look into what it means and start to go: "Huh, that's actually quite clever".
Seriously, compare CRS-312-4C+8XG-RM to something like "UniFi FlexHD", "UniFi AP HD", "UniFi AP SHD" and "UniFi Switch 16 PoE Gen2" and you'd actually be surprised how much easier it is to see the ports it has without having to look into the entire specsheet...
For those wondering what I'm brabbling on about:

@Gus Erland the wires inside are actually thinner tho, mostly different quality ("purity") of copper.
The real difference between cat5e and cat6a for example is the better alien crosstalk, allowing the frequency to go up to 500MHz as opposed to 250MHz on Cat6 and and 100MHz on Cat5e
@Gus Erland Ah yes, I'm totally clueless.
That's why I am taking my network engineering exam next month? :^)
Let's grab the book shall we?
- Operate at 500MHz instead of 250MHz of Cat5 or 100MHz of Cat5e
- higher purity copper, resulting in less losses over distance
- same AWG wires as cat6, ever so slightly thicker wires than cat5e (I guess you're right here)
- tighter twists
- a "plastic piece" in the middle to limit crosstalk
- thicker insulation around each wire
There you have it, the both of us were right.
Happy now?
@Gus Erland Ah yes, I'm totally clueless.
So are my friends that work as network engineers for big companies like AMS-IX, Hetzner and Tweak.

They turned part of a small building next to their house that they used as storage (i think) into a kitchen/living room combo and used to spend most of their time in that place. Years later, they converted part of their garage (which is in the "main house") into another kitchen/living room combo and now they spend most of their time there. So, in total, they now have 3 kitchens and 3 living rooms, and i'm sure they don't even use most of their other rooms because they live alone (their daughter lives 20 mintes away).

Nairbo Bryan is absolutely right. With this method you can share big files like games very fast when you downloaded them once. You have a so called Caching Server for this.

That is a strong tape... the Cat5 ripped in half first...
I run all Cat6 standard for many years... I know this is 3 years ago... I had my house built 3 years ago and the company doing the low voltage was STILL doing Cat5e as standard (in 2019!) when I had been using Cat6 for about 5 years.... They made me pay an upgrade fee to change to Cat6 on my runs.... The guy was telling me, oh yeah, you dont need anything over CAT5e, and if you put in 6, thats all you'll need for the rest of your life... I said Cat5e has been around for 20 years, how could you still be using that!?!? And I said I will use all Cat6 and then some when Cat 7 and 8 and 9 and 14 and 18 come out! I had to explain that I am running all my cameras (18) and 4 AP's, and I have a complete server rack FULL of servers and network equipment and lots of other gear. And all my smart home setup... I had to show that I did indeed need CAT6 and dont tell me that BS about it being good for all i'll ever need... I"m NOT your typical customer and dont downsell me so you can pocket more money by getting CHEAP CAT5e... He had never pre-wired for anyone with AP's, let alone 4 of them, and PoE cams. I asked about running fiber lines where I wanted them and at first he was like "the ISP can do that" and I said, no, not the DMARC to the wire closet, I mean wire closet to Rack and to a few other places where I need 40gbps drops for my internal network. and he was like yeah, we dont do fiber... And they wouldnt let me run my own fiber and cable, I HAD to pay them :(.... I ran my fiber lines after closing...
This was a production builder in a very high end community... My next home, Wife and I are purchasing land and doing a 100% custom build the way we want it... shoot for net zero and then I get to run ALL my own cables and fiber before they begin drywall...
In the future, I recommend getting special cat 6 heads, they have little holes in the front of the head that let the individual leads pass through, it makes it far easier to crimp the cables.
Those are called pass-through connectors. They are way easier to use, I just use the regular cheapie connectors. The pass-through connectors also need a special crimping tool I believe.
@@RoastBeefSandwich they don't necessarily need a special tool, but they're best used with the special tool because it gives space fir the wires that are passing through to sit freely as well as come with a blade to cut the slack off while crimping.
@@colethomas2309 99% of the rj45 crimpers you can buy have a blade for pass through connection you dont really need a special one. They aren't any better or worse than regular RJs but most of older techs I know don't like them and consider them to be a lesser rj

I would like some fiber optic, but with twisted pair cables, I can just buy some cables, some jacks, reference material to properly wire the jacks, and the multi-tool dedicated to twisted pair cables.
I had practice in making those kinds of cables as part of networking college course.
@@Aereto from MY experience in Networking in college, FiOs is finicky and a pain to use, and a simple break ruins the connection. Twisted pair is alot more durable
pro cabling tip, you dont need a screwdriver or anything to straighten them out
(this is gonna be crazy hard to explain in text, but here goes..)
1) untwist them
2) line them up in the right order
3) firmly hold them together (while keeping them flat) at two different points ~1/2 an inch apart
4) wiggle those 2 points back and forth on a 2 dimensional plane, the wires will straighten *much* more.
5) snip off the un-straightened part
do step 4 too much and you can work harden the copper and break the conductor. but that is how I do it I confess.
Just ran 4 ports in my home with Cat7. For a newblet running bulk cable and connecting them to Cat7 keystones it went fairly well, didn't need to redo any of the connectors. Realistically there are 2 more rooms I could run cable to, but they're so much further away from the switch, I don't really want to deal with all the wall effort it would take. I may do a secondary structure, hence the Cat 7, where I'll really make use of the shielding and get the distance spec out of it.
I think it's great that Linus uses his face meme as a super-stretched background
Just... magnificent

Been waiting for some MikroTik love on this channel, they've been seriously undercutting the prices of the major names for networking hardware for years now with a vastly superior feature set as standard.
Shame this video didn't do Mikrotik much justice as they only stated the price.
They have had some serious security issues with some of their routers or something though. But if it's just a "dumb" switch, I don't see a problem I guess
Mikrotik is good stuff, will do everything the other guys can for less. Management interface takes some getting used to. Their documentation is enough to get you started, though.

6:18 : nobody actually ever offended Linus more 😂
Cat 6A is augmented category 6 and rated for 500 MHz vs the Category 5e which is rated for 100 MHz only so its definitely a good upgrade :) for those of you who are worried about the price you can get a lowered 10 port with similar specs for around 170 otherwise a 1 GB 8 port switch can run you around $30. Cabling and ends are cheap just make sure you don't get a lower rated connector.
You can use short runs of Cat 6 (NOT a) for 10GB - 55 meters vs 100 IIRC.
For MOST folks, that's not going to matter.

DOH! CONDUIT DUDE! Whenever I can (time/money/difficulty) I ALWAYS fit conduit in awkward situations! THEN adding or replacing cables to runs avoids those issues you were having.
No need for more expensive electrical power rated conduit either. Low cost flexible or hard pvc pipe can solve many issues!
I have TWO 32mm runs through my stud walls currently, one flexible for hidden TV cables (DC power, AC Mains), HDMI, , etc and the other one is a straight drop 40mm pvc drain pipe for running Ethernet cables down to the ground floor void under the suspended floor from the upstairs floor void. Left it with a draw cord to make adding cables a piece of proverbial.
Soon there will be another 20 conduit runs including 2x32mm, the rest 20mm for a complete lighting automation system. All light controls will be 5v ONLY, with NO mains in the walls except for wall lamps. All mains connections to lamps will be via opto isolated relays from one control box.
LOTS of mains cable conduit used too, to ease replacement of existing mains runs with orange ZHLS Cat5e control cabling. All power cabling then via conduit to the above ceiling voids upstairs and downstairs.
MUCH, MUCH easier for upgrading later as/when needed for 10G or even fibre in the future!
I had conduit installed in key locations by my builder when I built my new house. They all thought it was overkill and I'd never use it. Now I have fiber and multiple Cat 5e runs pulled thru it. No regrets.

**Cleaning up the coffee that I spit out when he said, "just 500 USD" for the 12 port switch**
I'd say 500 USD for a 10 gig switch is pretty reasonable. It's no Cisco switch but it should do fine.
Considering the price of new ones (here in Europe) about 1k... Well that's cheap
@@alolanstarboy it's a Mikrotik. Mikrotik tends to overstate their abilities. I remember back in RB250GS era, 5 port managed gigabit switch. it only did gigabit when in "dumb" mode. if you tried to VLAN it, speed dropped to s#it. only 300mbit if you were lucky. source: I use mikrotik and have about 30 out there in the field atm. they are very reliable, but you have to know what they can REALLY do, and not what mikrotik says.
@@83hjf I guess they use the maximum possible speeds it can achieve for marketing lol. Either way Linus didn't seem to have any intention of creating VLANs for his network anyway so he should be set
all of you trying to reason those prices didn't get the op's point ... while 15k for a Versiv 2 is reasonable from the POV of companies using those, it's still not "only 15k"
(different price level, same logic)
10:16 "I can unblugg the 1 gig connection"
Glad to see 10 gig local networking catching up. I believe that it has not previously caught up because hard drives and internet connection connections has usually been slower than 10gig and therefor the benefit has not been that visible. With FTTH 1gig connections and ssd's getting faster, the need to upgrade the home networking is getting more prevalent.
I believe a barrier is the effort involved in cable repacement. If you have cat 5 or 5e everywhere, with a sizable company, the cable replacement piece is substantial work.
@@brianw.4985 Yes but in network infrastructure most work are actually industrial and you would rather lay cat 8 cables than cat 5 on new installations.
@@SuperSkandale new installs yes, 6a or 7 at least. But there are tons of existing installs with cat 5 or 5e.
@linus tech tips , Great video, this is what i do for a living, i would say this, i never crimp a cable with a RJ-45 as my first option. i always go to a keystone, with a 6 inch patch cable. Its to prevent broken or lost lines, plus easy change later if something happens to just the patch cable end.
it's actually a great name for a switch. Mikrotik labels all their stuff so that you can know exactly what it does and what ports it has right from the model name.

11:54 Jake just taught me more in 30 secs than my teacher in school in 30 mins. Yeeeah
Linus: "The original cat-5e cable broke!!!" Reality: the mice chewed through the original cat-5e cable.
actually that was in the attic, where the break happened was the end that was in the living room wall jack. it was likely just fatigued at that point where it was exposed to the weather all these years.
I was just really making a funny playing off on the mouse/rat droppings in the attic.
I recommend looking into Platinum Tools 10Gig crimpers and their CAT6A shielded plugs or Simply45 CAT6A system for outdoor cabling. Designed for 10Gig applications.
I use used SFP+ cards and SFP+ DAC cables with a MikroTik CRS309-1G-8S+IN 8 port SFP+ switch. £10 per card / £10 per cable and £200 per switch. It's a managed switch but will only do 10Gb at layer 2, any layer 3 traffic / tagged packets have to go via the CPU not the custom switch chip, so will only be about 3Gb max. but it works really well for my purposes. SPF+ uses less power too, so less heat in your case.
Linus: "I STILL haven't upgraded my house to 10 gigabit networking"
Me: "Sir could you spare some data for a humble meme farmer"
Some of use are still on 10meg..... not rich a-holes like some....
you guys have networks?
gouryoku Hi, I just wanted to reply to what you’ve said. Peter seems to be out of line a bit, but you’ve gone *way past the line* . Also poverty shouldn’t be made fun of, it’s a serious situation that no one should go through. But hey, that’s just a goal of the world. Anyway, poverty can come from many things and not just making bad decisions. But hey, in your world everyone’s stupid if they’re poor. You may say how people who are poor are there because of bad decisions, bad education, etc.. But how are you the judge? What makes you special enough to allow you to judge people’s decisions and say if they were good or bad? What makes your conclusions valid? What I’m trying to say is treat people the way you want to be treated, because the comment that Peter made was generally not directed to you. I don’t fully support the comment, however your response is even worse.
@@RomvnlyPlays I never ever implied all poor people were stupid. I am just saying that individual is an idiot.
He seems like a jealous idiot.
I hate nothing more than people telling me I am a certain way because I criticized a single individual.
Please take your time and learn basic English before trying to feel morally superior.
I'm poor myself, dude, so what you said means absolutely nothing in the end.
@@gouryoku "you're a really dumb asshole who made bad decisions and will stay poor until you die" being judgmental and harsh is as bad as being envious
Linus's twin vampire living in his attic confirmed.
1:00 - "Made in Latvia?!" *latvian jumps up*
Microtek ftw
That is not the only difference between Cat5, the jump in gauge is a big difference at that voltage but the biggest difference is the number of twists per inch which prevents crosstalk. Unless you bought shielded cat six, which you didn't for that price then the x shaped strand in the middle is for structure to prevent tight bends.

An Asus XG-C100C user here. A while back an AQC107 firmware update, atlflashupdate_1.4.2_3.1.90.zip was available for download from Aquantia's site. So I used it (via Windows 10 1903) to update my XG-C100C's firmware from ver. 1.5.44 to ver. 3.1.90 in order to successfully remedy an infrequent and intermittent dropped network connection issue. I then repeated said update with equal success on another XG-C100C I had bought as a backup.
Shortly afterwards atlflashupdate_1.4.2_3.1.90.zip was removed from Aquantia's site. I sent them an e-mail asking why. Their response was noncommittal. (Note: I subsequently learned that Aquantia was in the process of being acquired by Marvell around this time. Hence there may have been some policy changes afoot.)
However, I soon found an alternate and reputable source for atlflashupdate_1.4.2_3.1.90.zip. Here it is:
Solo10G Firmware 1.4.2_3.1.90
www.sonnettech.com/support/kb/kb.php?cat=538&expand=_a13&action=b1063#b1063
All of the files and the readme in the above .zip are identical to those found in the one I previously downloaded from Aquantia's site.
From said readme:
"AtlFlashUpdate is a tool for updating firmware on AQC100, AQC108, AQC107, AQN100, AQN108, and AQN107"

One more thing:
If I had to buy another AQC107-based 10G Ethernet card I would definitely choose between the Aquantia AQtion 10G Pro NIC in the OP's link or the Sonnet Solo10G PCIe Card. Why? Because in addition to both units having a ventilated PCI plate, they also sport a spring-loaded heat sink which suggests the use of thermal paste as opposed to the thermal pad found under the stand-off-mounted heat sink on the Asus XG-C100C. Relevance? I recently upgraded Linux Mint 19.2 Cinnamon's stock kernel ver. 4.15.x to the 5.3.0-19 kernel that's part of Ubuntu 19.10 and discovered that it can read the AQC107's temperature sensor. It currently reads 59C even though the XG-C100C is only connected to a 1G Ethernet switch.
Fortunately the CM 690 II that I use has two vertically aligned 140mm side fans which I can ramp up next summer. Those who prefer PC cases equipped with vanity windows are unlikely to have that option.

I've just run single mode fibre cable runs everywhere in my house that I need 10G, the LC connectors are about the same diameter as Cat6A cable so I don't need larger holes, and if you use BiDi SFPs which are still very cheap you only need a single fibre for 10G anyway.
Richard Skinner I have gigabit internet and it’s great but already seems like overkill for most applications. What’s the practical point of running 10 gigabit?
@@PodtrashRadio I have a small main desktop with only SSDs in and all my bulk storage is done on my unraid server. I have an iSCSI target on the unraid server for my steam library. 100mbyte/sec would be a bottleneck.

**splices into that external ethernet cable** Just "borrowing" some high speed internets Linus.
If this will helps, whean configurating the mikrotik switches and routers better use Winbox software, dont know what you use but i think simple using browser, configure RoMON that you can connect to device without any filter rules = saver things, you can also make many DHCP servers and VLAN rules for your servers to keep saver and separate devices from your normal devices like normal use laptops or phones, in ip>firewall>service ports change the ports you like beceose many of ppl like to try enter your cr using standard service ports and also if anyone can connect to your internet provider network and use scan in winbox, can see your device. In ip>firewall>nat you can make ports rules also in connections you will see all connections in and out to your network. Make in firewall filter rules flood protect rule for make your sarvers saver. In ip>dhcp server>leases you can easly make static adresses rules, also you can see there alerts.
PRO TIP - you can play music on your mikrotik switches and routers using scripting, you all can find in google serch. Think about that, flood rule starts to working, someone attacks your server, router starting the script to block that and also plays imperial march from star wars :D.
there are almost everything you can do with this router.
PRO TIP for ppl working in internet providers - if some company have many of radios from mikrotik and you dont know what radio you need to service, someone who can enter to this radio can play for you any music to locate the radio, we have many of SXT radios for clients and whean you reech the roof of building and see 6 radios .... that can helps
10gbps you can also reech using 2 x cat 5e cable, using any cables outside better use cables with gel inside, that will make water out from the inside of cable.
PS. Sorry for my poor english language :) Cheers.
I went a similar route, minus going CAT. I went Fiber Optic. Bought (2) Dual Port SFP+, 3 in total (1 was 49Y4252 EMULEX) off Ebay for less then $10.00 a piece. I see today they want to extort people for $179.00 a piece (Melanox) used, Just like NVidia - they bought Melanox. 2 in servers and one in my main rig. Ran 2 SFP+ Copper from the 32 core servers about $20.00 a piece and 2 Fiber Optic cables $12.00 a piece for to my rig upstairs through the register :) I do not currently get 20 Gigabit, but I do have 10G redundancy. I used the 4 port MicroTik. CRS305-1G-4S+IN ($144.49 off ebay - cheaper today). Jacked into a 32 Port Router / Switch that Google used to use less then $50 off ebay (has dual 10G Uplinks - used one). I did have to buy 4 transcievers (MikroTik S+85DLC03D) brand new cost me $55.00 total. I can easily max out 10 Gigabit - 1.2 GB a sec. I do have plans on upgrading the Mikrotik router. CRS309-1G-8S+ Hopefully then I will see 20 Gigabit. Basically raid 2 X 10 Gigabit ports.
I have since shut down both 32 core servers down and replaced them with a 3900X It has dual PCIE4.0 Raided NVME, 8 X 8TB (raid 0) & 2 X 10 TB (Raid 0) raided drives. I plan on completely removing Gigabit from the house. I do have my information backed up, so give me some slack on the raid 0 ;) I do build Operating Systems. Makes you wonder what my main Rig has does it not? I promise you. I do not have a mechanical hard disk or a SSD for that matter in my "Main Rig". I am all about speed. 20 Gigabit is roughly 2.4 GB a second across the network. I could also instruct a sever to build this or that, with the quickness.
That router they all come online? I went "Lite" stepping into 10 Gigabit. What I did not tell you.

I ate that. See I learn too. All Failures. This is a perfect time to extort people. I have $179.00 adapters I paid less then $10.00 for. I bet I could recover the above money. Bet money it does not happen. Maybe down the road I move to 40 Gigabit? That is actually 80 Gigabit, it is dual port. It is in my basement. I bet I could sell that for a grand or better. I do not like them. Want me to tell you I do not like money? I have enough & that should be all that matters.
Greedy I am not.. I am down. I will not work for roughly 3 weeks in total. Repostorm is coming. I almost question. God has done this to me.
