Uses a 10GB NVMe card with 5GB capacity for negotiation
Hello everyone, I'm working with a MikroTik CRS305 and a S+RJ10 module linked to a 10GB NIC on my ProArt. The setup uses a shielded Cat6 cable from the RJ45 module to the motherboard. The connection works fine but only reaches 5Gbps in iPerf. When I swap in an Asus XG C100C NIC on the X570 ProArt, it also achieves 10GB. I've checked Power Saving Ethernet settings in Device Manager but didn't see any changes. What else can I try to get my native NIC to hit 10GB? Thanks!
Confirm the specifications carefully. The X570 ProArt model you mentioned doesn’t appear to have a 10G network controller built-in; it uses a 2.5Gb adapter. Check official documentation or reputable retailers for accurate details.
More than what it's likely to admit, networking is a matter of finding common language. Switch + SFP+ and network card with that cable currently cannot have an agreement for 10GbE You could try to force your card to 10GbE on Windows, and see what happens. Or try another cable (if computer and switch are in the same room). I don't know if there's any SFP+/10GBe straitght cable... avoiding the SFP+/RJ45 converter. CAT6 cable is rated for 10GbE? AFAIK CAT6a is required.
FS.com reports maximum up to 55mt for crosstalk. Based on your experience, your mainboard network card may struggle with CAT6 for 10GbE in your setup. If the cable isn’t shielded, you’ll need a 10ft CAT6a cable costing around ten dollars on Amazon. Consider checking prices for cables that suit your specific needs. Unless your devices are in separate rooms or use inwall cabling...
devices occupy the same space, I'm experimenting with various cables. Cat5e operates at 5gbps, and cat6 is stable at that speed. I'm searching for a Cat6a now. I attempted to adjust the negotiation settings on the AQC113 to 10gb, but it keeps rejecting the change. It seems there might be a problem with the switch and this device, since other 10gb NICs are functioning properly.
I moved my XG-C100C to another machine and linked it to the 10gb port on the proart. Both ends show a 10gbps connection. It seems the X570 ProArt might have a problem with either the MikroTik CRS305 switch or the 10gb RJ45 adapter. Thanks for your assistance!
Up to around 55 meters is acceptable; beyond that, a 6a rating is required.
