Which switch shall I use / SFP+ to ethernet modules
Hello, I'm designing small home 10gig network since we are getting our link upgraded to 8Gbps. I'm stuck between MikroTik CRS312-4C+8XG-RM which apparently has better connectivity options (both ethernet and SFP+) but it's much slower and has worse switching and RAM stats than Mikrotik CRS309-1G-8S+IN. But this one doesn't have ethernet ports. According to a website S+RJ10 adapters can only be used with actively cooled switches. What would you do in my situation. We still don't know if the network will end up as copper or fiber to the clients, so it would be nice to have both options available. Also link to the router will be DAC since there are only SFP+ in there. Will RJ45 adapters get ungodly hot in pasively cooled switch?
