      @chudak No I cabled my house back in 2006 and used Cat6 as it were. But there are a few of them on the middle floor where I didn't have space in the "duct" coming up from the basement. So I ended up running them a different path all the way from the basement via the attic and then down again, which apparently exceeded the 30m limit of the RJ45 modules.
      But when connecting the TP-Link tx401 to the TL-SX3206HPP it works even those longer cables... I suppose 5E will work fine in most cases as well, as long as you keep to reasonable lengths.

        @chudak Out of curiosity what speed are you actually seeing on the 10G connection. If it's standard XGS-PON, that usually maxes out around 8.5Gbps data payload due to overheads in the PON system. If the ISP is using 25Gb PON, then they could theoretically deliver 10Gb data rates.

        I don't have 10GB fibber yet :)

        On 1GB I see ~700MBps on iPhone 13 Pro and full 1GB on wired connections
