Hi everyone,
I recently got a Firewall Mini PC with the following specs:
- CPU: Intel N150
- Ports: 2x 10G SFP+ and 3x 2.5G (i226-V)
- RAM: DDR5
- Storage: NVMe
- OS: OPNsense (latest)
I'm looking to use the 10G SFP+ ports with a 10GBASE-T RJ45 Copper module instead of fiber or DAC, since I need to connect to standard Cat6a ethernet.
I know the official OPNsense compatibility list only covers their own hardware (axgbe-based appliances), and my device uses a different SFP+ controller.
Has anyone used a 10GBASE-T RJ45 SFP+ copper transceiver on a similar Mini PC setup running OPNsense?
Specifically I'd love to know:
1. Which module did you use? (brand/model)
2. Did it work out of the box or did it require any configuration?
3. Any issues with heat since the device is fanless?
Thanks in advance!
