Well.. I did that because of font size. I didn't want it to be too small. Originally I had GST but the font was too big. So I decided to go with GEST so the font would be smaller but not too small. It's intentional. The cables are labeled with the full name of where ever they lead too.

I could see myself doing that if I had more than one Ubiquity device in my rack. My existing Cat 6A and Cat 7 keystones are already silver (in a black panel). I would have an issue with sever of my miscellaneous keystones (some HDMI and other USB).

Hi there, I recently upgraded my setup to AT&T 5 gig speeds and also upgraded my network setup to the UDM SE PRO, 8 port Aggregation switch, 48 port pro-POE switch, and Enterprise 8 port POE switch. I am having trouble getting the SFP+ ports on the switches to deliver 5 gig speeds. They are getting capped at 2.5 gigs. If I connect the PC directly to the UDM SE Pro, I am seeing the 5 gig speeds. I am using Cat6a cables and when I connect to the At&t router directly, I can see the speeds are 5 gigs. It's only at the switch level that the speeds are capped. Would you happen to know why this could be happening?
@SPXLabs Жыл бұрын
Sounds like an issue with the SFP module. I can definitely verify that the UDM Pro works with ATT 5Gbps internet
@pareshrr Жыл бұрын
@@SPXLabs The SFP module is working fine. I could confirm this by connecting it to the UDM Pro and my PC and I was able to get full 5 gig speeds. But when the SFP module is on the switches, the speeds are getting capped at 2.5 gigs. Any idea why this could be happening?

@@SPXLabs That makes sense and thank you for the explanation. I've found few legitimate uses for shielded cable outside of industrial and a couple unique situations where shielded ethernet was a necessity. Even then its usually easier to install OM3. Your rack does look clean with the patchpanel and the look of the metallic jacks does have a nice aesthetic look.
