Do you just use a copper SFP+ module like

know what you use.
I used QFPTEK modules from Amazon, but any should do. The Mikrotik does
run a little hot with them (it's passively cooled), but I have it
vertically mounted and it seems fine.
I was leaning towards this switch:
https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-TL-SX105-Wall-Mount-Protection-Auto-Negotiation/dp/B09CYNHL4S.
It looks super simple, it already has the copper interfaces so I
don't need SFP+ modules.
I went with the Mikrotik because I wanted a managed switch so I could
have VLANs.
My preference is to use plain old cat7 ethernet, like 10 foot cables
or so:
https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-High-Speed-Gigabit-Ethernet-Internet/dp/B07ZTQY9DD/
I went with some CableCreation "ultra thin" cat6A cables (makes for
easier cable routing and bundling).
This is gold, thank you so much! I've only used InfiniBand in my home
network (got some really cheap 10G IB stuff) and it was really fast. I
loved it. But I sold that stuff when I changed jobs, and I have a bad
itch to get back to faster, but more modern networking.
Many thanks for your advice!
Thomas
