This was the ONLY place on the Internet where I could get all the information and clear explanation of those 4 types of connection that I was desperately looking for. Thank you so much!
I have gone through the entire RUclips videos on SFP's , but none of them shows live demonstration like you did ... Excellent piece of video. Thank you a lot
I've been looking around the web to try and get some straightforward advice, other sites just get a tad too technical with their details, which is fine if you live in that world. For us mere mortals, his was excellent. Thank you.
You will connect via 1GB RJ45 Ethernet cable if you have no other option. Connect via 10GB RJ45 Ethernet cable works up to 30 meters and consumes the most energy. The 10GB RJ45 modules usually get very hot. SFP 2.5GBit RJ45 modules, on the other hand, hardly get warm. A DAC cable is a good solution for connections up to 10 meters. The power consumption is low. Multi mode fiber is often used in house, single mode is often used for distances of kilometers. Both require relatively little power compared to 10GBit RJ45 modules Not all network devices support ring bonding or dual bonding
Are crossover cables needed still for attaching two switches functioning as 2 LAN/WAN? Im having some connectivity issue on AP's with the daisy chain switch to switch.
Are you sure your copper SFP+ transceivers support 100m? They usually support only up to 30m. I've used the FS industrial (extended temp range) ones for when my other switch doesn't have SFP+ and they are also 30m.
Hi, It's a nice demonstration fir uplink ports & can we use interlink 1G Cisco switch to Dell 10G switch please explain completely if it's possible to connect with console screen.
Hi @InsideWire, I have a few questions: 1- Will all switches be on the same subnet? 2- How should the switches be configured if it is necessary to have a different IP on each switch? Is it possible or not? 3- What happens with Vlans? Is it possible to configure them on the switches and have communication with each other? Thanks in advance and greetings from Monterrey Mexico.

I have three switches and a NAV. My gateway only has three SFP ports. So, one device must connect to my gateway via CAT. Is there any advantage in also connecting the switches together via SFP, as they all have multiple SFP ports? Thank you for your videos. They have been extremely helpful.
I do not think you would notice a difference in speed but SFP+ modules run hot and use more power. If you put two next to each other they might throttle down speeds if they get too hot....
Can I connect my router LAN-port to switch Uplink-port? Can I connect my switch Uplink-port to another switch, that doesn't have a dedicated Uplink-port? Thanks and insta sub!
Not all SFP modules are the same. My Cisco 200-50p Series cant use the Generic $10-20 plugin modules, it's really hit or miss and too much headache. They instead force you to purchase the $50-$100 certified modules. Too much headache and a gamble to go with something just because it says SFP and its cheap....do your research first.
nobody has really explained about the DAC cables, i have 1GB broadband package in the UK, how can this DAC cable give me a 10gb+ ? a 10gb+ connection for what exactly...? data transfer between servers, PC's etc cause i know it 100% won't give me a 10GB+ internet connection if i only have 1GB coming through my broadband wire?
This has nothing to do with the internet. You answered your own question - it’s for data transfer between servers but the servers are in your home network. Say you want to transfer files from a computer in bedroom A to a computer in bedroom B. If both computers are connected to the same network and they all have the appropriate accessories to support 10gbps transfer speeds (NIC, switch(es), router, cables, etc.), then you will be able to transfer said files at 10 gbps between both computers (not using the internet). I hope this helps and that I did not make you even more confused.

Studying for a Network+ currently and stumbled upon this. Great video and a lot of the information you shared popped out at me from my studies.

video definitely deserves more upvotes. very useful for beginners trying to learn the ropes. appreciate the naration and demo.
Much appreciated!
Great job of clear explanation 😀

Be mindful of the FS SFP, I've found they jam in switches compared with OEM SFP modules when using them on other brand switches.
Interesting to know. Thanks for sharing.

Obviously, if they are not crossover cables, then you send data to the sending side

Very helpful! Great content! Thank you!
You’re welcome
great video, found it very helpful..
Glad you liked it
Amaing video, thank you!

Hi,
It's a nice demonstration fir uplink ports & can we use interlink 1G Cisco switch to Dell 10G switch please explain completely if it's possible to connect with console screen.
Can you use software to connect switches or hardware only
Hardware, there needs to be a physical connection
what happens if you connect a ca6 cable to each and a sfp or dac at the same time?
Great one..
Thank you!
thanks for the video but can you link up 2 sw of different IP address? how?

Poor English. I didn't understand anything from your question

So any reason when I set up fiber to fiber between two switches why only one link light works and I get no connection on the connected switch

does this apply to CISCO Switches?
can i connect 2 TL-SG3210 with there SFP Port?
Thank You
You're welcome
Is there any performance gain when you use gigabit SFP+ RJ45 modules over standard ethernet ports? Or both have the same performance?
I do not think you would notice a difference in speed but SFP+ modules run hot and use more power. If you put two next to each other they might throttle down speeds if they get too hot....
Bigthankyou
Good stuff
What a video !
the cables must be crossover??
