Can an RN526x with 10GB ethernet be connected to a 1GB switch? I know the NAS would not operate to it's full potential. Is their a special cable involved?
Hi @Jimbo1960 , going via copper a cat6 cable should be ok. From wikipedia: "For 10GBASE-T, an unshielded Cat 6 cable should not exceed 55 meters and a Cat 6A cable should not exceed 100 meters." More details here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_6_cable
However, regarding the speed you can expect between two workstations it will be the slowest component of the path, which limits the result. For example, if you have a GB switch or router between two 10GB workstations you will just get GB performance, though.
