Networking down / SFP+ DAC Cable

This would be pure speculation on my part, but I could see a case where this is possible even though the system was tested. It’s risky to ship a computer with a heavy cards installed like GPU’s. It can lead to not just broken cards but also broken PCIe slots and motherboards. Computer companies who do ship with cards installed go to great lengths to support the GPU’s through various packaging material. Knowing that my customers are not the average computer user, I would personally opt to uninstall the card and pack it in the box with the unit to be reinstalled later. Unfortunately, this opens the process up to human error and someone forgetting to put said GPU in the box.

So you have an SFP RJ45 transceiver? What happens if you plug that into the HL15? And either connect your laptop to the HL15 with a static IP, or run the other end of the RJ45 cable to one of the RJ45 ports on the switch?

I did see this page;

which seems to explicitly not list SFP DAC cables. I don’t know if that means the Ubiquity only supports SFP Fiber and RJ45, or if it just means they don’t sell SFP DAC on their store but it would still be supported. I haven’t heard of SFP ports only supporting certain physical connection types, but just thought I’d point it out.
