Can 10G LAN SFP+ port be used with a ASRock motherboard that has a 5Gb Ethernet port

Can the 10G LAN SPF port support normal ethernet at 5GB instead of NAS traffic.  My computer has a 5GB Ethernet port.

    There is no cheap way for 10Gb :mansad:

    You have either use some kind of adapter (picture), or use additional PC 10Gb Ethernet card with SFP connection.

    I might try a Ubiquiti Networks ER-X-SFP-US Advanced Gigabit Router with PoE and SFP between them. Do you think this would work?

        Any suggestion on the best and most  economical way to do this.  I have never seen the pinout for a SFP+ connector?

        Thanks
