      Hello,
      I just ordered a Chelsio T520-CR and need to know if I can use DAC twinax copper or RJ45 sfp+ module with it or am I stuck with SFP+ optic module's ?

      Also, what is the best firmware for this card using latest pfsense ?

      This is the card I ordered :

        A DAC cable should work and I would expect an RJ-45 SFP module to also though I have only ever tested DACs there and fibre modules.

          Thanks Steve, this is my first card that is not RJ45 , I ended up ordering this and will post feedback once my ISP 10gb/s router arrives.

            I have a 4m version of that that worked OK. That actually looks newer/better than the one I have.
