Hello everyone, I'm collaborating with a friend who needs to configure a 10 Gb network for a workstation, VM server, and NAS. We have 10 GB network cards in RJ45 format that we connect directly. He also wants the ability to link to his network reset, making his requirements a bit unique. He didn't want to invest heavily in each card. Would using three of these cards work? Also, are the cables from Amazon and the switch compatible?

In theory it's possible, but I chose an Intel card for my single SFP+ port. You'll need a switch with multiple SFP+ connections and a method to connect them to the main switch—maybe an SFP+ RJ45 module if the switch lacks it.
