minus-squaredeurlinkfedilinkarrow-up9·edit-27 months agoI think they might also use Ethernet? Usually “Ethernet” refers to the copper Ethernet cable, but I am 99% sure Fiber uses Ethernet too. Just sharing since I’m deploying my Fiber setup at home in a bit…
minus-squarerandombullet@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up9·edit-27 months agoEthernet is a layer 1/2 standard, so it is technically it’s anything covered under IEEE 802.3. But for most folks Ethernet is a copper patch cable and a copper port. My comment was more directed at the unholy costs of copper SFPs and their heat when dealing with multigig setups.
