Top NIC for 1000/1000 fiber connections
Oh, this isn't an ISP WAN connection? You must have an interesting setup. Last I saw for around $25 you can find retired Mellanox ConnectX-2 cards with a single SFP+ port. If you want something brand new that only does 1Gbit it will cost more. I find Windows default drivers for the card suffice. It does need a little airflow though. Gets hot without it. You may or may not have trouble with transceiver compatibility if you use your own. I know one that works and is capable of 10Gbit.
Its just from home modem to PC. If you have something that would work, feel free to link it.
The term "fiber" can refer to both physical cables and data connections. For a PC, it often means an Ethernet cable linking to the router or modem, while an RJ45 port connects directly to network devices. If you mean a fiber-optic connection, it would be a dedicated high-speed link, not a standard RJ45. Clarify your setup for accurate guidance.
