Is it not better to use fibre for 10Gbps than Ethernet?

[–] cron@feddit.org 3 points 7 months ago

Fibre also has its disadvantages. Copper cables are sturdy and can power the connected components via Power over Ethernet, making them the better choice for e.g. Wifi Access Points.

Yes. Base-T 10Gb is limited to 55m depending on the cable

While fibre can go from 400m to to 80Km depending on the cable and optics.

Yes it's a huge issue when I pass network runs in my palace.

If you want to rip out all existing wiring and add SFP+ with fiber on all your end devices, then yes.
