If US shipping was not so expensive...
Why would the US be involved? UBNT isn't in the US, nor are you.

@Breffni-Potter Yeah, the store is for US only but I'm Canadian and I managed to keep returning and clearing my cache and eventually let me in. I have family that lives in NY state so it's getting shipped there. And you have to register for the beta program to see the 299 price otherwise it only shows 599 on the site.
Wait, UBNT is only selling to the US for their new stuff, even though they are Canadian? I'm so confused.
-
If its for the US store for a US beta, that implies their stock/distribution is US based.
Alternatively I could try it.
-
@scottalanmiller The UBNT online store is only available in the US.

It really sucks living in Canada. Even your own companies hate you.
-
@scottalanmiller Corporate HQ is in California.

There are perks - making fun of America(ns) is practically a national past time.

I could have sworn that they were in Canada.
-
@scottalanmiller Nope. There is a reseller in Canada that uses ubnt.ca but they make it clear there is no association with ubnt.com.

I did see that, I know that that website was not them, at least.

I've been using DAC cables with my EdgeMax switch and they've been working perfectly. I ordered these and haven't had any issues with them.
-
@Romo Yep, that's the EdgeMax version but at $599 and good luck finding it at that price and in stock (usually in preorder status). Canadian resellers have been advertising this one at around $899 CDN but no stock. And this price point is more difficult to obtain the WAF (wife approval factor) than the $299 price.

Your server(s) have these connections on them? I haven't dealt with 10G yet, so I have no idea what to expect.
-
Just curious, what do you gain by having 10Gb at home? Is this just so you can live fail over something in test? Even at $299, plus $200 for the cables, assuming you only need two, $500 is not a small amount for a home lab. Sure 1 Gb takes 10 times longer to prove your test, but this just a lab... I'm wondering what I'm missing?

Maybe he just wants the experience with 10g?
I'd do it if I had the money (and wife approval, ha ha).

Yes, I have Intel X520-DA2 NICs installed on my servers.
