Black PCB supporting 10GbE connectivity
Black PCB supporting 10GbE connectivity
Usually these 10Gb cards are intended for business environments where appearance isn't a priority. However, the red ASUS networking card is available here: https://www.asus.com/us/Networking/XG-C100C/
I also searched for them previously but didn't find any results.
The shroud appears black on this Gigabyte NIC, but it's unclear if the PCB is actually black or if it's just lighting affecting the view. It might not display the back of the card clearly.
Sure, let me know if you encounter anything similar. I also noticed a color mismatch problem on the PCB in a black and blue setting. I’m hoping more motherboards will include an SFP+ cage.
Starftech also offers options, but the full SFP setup for $100 on both units seems less appealing given the price gap. Plastidip might be a better choice focusing only on the top of the card.
