      Hi,
      Can I use the 10Gbps RJ45 ports on the 1541 as 1Gbps? Would they just autosense the correct speed if plugged into a 1Gbps switch?
      Many thanks,
      Andy Farmer

        Yes and yes is the short answer.
        Is this something you have tried and is not doing that?

          @stephenw10 that could prob be better presented in the docs.. I looked at the docs, and while you might "assume" a 10ge copper should also do 10/100/1000 - I could see how he has questions on that..

            In the 1541 doc directly? Yeah, it does appear to show only 10G. Hmm..

            I don't think I've seen any 10Gbase-T interface that did not autonegotiate to 1G though.

            Someone will probably point one out. 😉

              Thanks all! I thought it would probably be fine but I just wanted to check before a potential purpose.
              Regards, Andy
