Man. The tech is so pricey though. 10g switch’s are scary lol
Yeah. I honestly think 10GbaseT was a mistake, since it fragmented 10gbit and made it so expensive.
The sfp+ switches aren't too bad, here's an 8 port unmanaged for $150: https://www.amazon.com/MokerLink-Support-Bandwidth-Unmanaged-Ethernet/dp/B09W24RZDC/
SFP+ still pretty much requires pcie cards or home-server style hardware to use, but it's pretty accessible. And you can buy 10GbaseT adapters for backwards compatibility for $40.
Some wifi routers are even starting to adopt SFP+, even if it's ungodly expensive. https://www.amazon.se/TP-Link-Deco-BE85-2-pack-Tri-Band-router/dp/B0C5Y46J1W/
