minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink16•1 year agoI run fiber because fiber SFPs are cheaper than copper lol. But if it doesn’t move in my house, it’s wired.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink8•edit-21 year 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-square@[email protected]linkfedilink9•edit-21 year 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.
