I'm only seeing 10GB SFPs mentioned for the R9000. Does anyone know if there are any 5GB SFPs what will work with the R9000? Thank you!

Greetings,
Suggest you purchase a 10GB SPF+ cable. It will operate at slower speeds if the device you are connecting it to is slower.

However, you are likely to see better performance using the R9000 in conjuction with another device also rated at 10GB SPF+ instead.

  Can someone tell me if this one will work for a 5GbE connection to my NAS from my R9000?

  Other options for a 5Gb copper SFP for my Nighthawk?
