Thought this was 10gbic nic over usb-c and got excited for a moment. I'm waiting for them to do a single port sfp NIC over 1x lane of PCIe 4.0.
Still a neat little card if I had a use for it.

I doubt there is much of a market for x1 sfp+ cards tho.
Id expect most do same as i do now, just stick a x4/x8 card in the x1 slot.
Pretty handy looking, but an SFP+ port would be better than the 10gbe rj45.
It tends to go hand in hand with a nas with built in 10gbase-t switch.
Sfp+ tends to have a latency pitch in this segment, that ship has sailed with the nic behind a switch.
I am really struggling to parse this. What?
Everytime i see that card i go "who on earth is this for, who would want this".
Beyond being behind a plx switch for added latency there is not actualy enough bandwidth to support using all 3 features.
The plus side of selling to graphics market i guess, they are "non-tech tech'.
