A real office expansion raised a common network-refresh problem: the core is still limited to 1G, but new switches and fiber are being installed today. This article explains how to stage the move to 10G, when LAG can help, how to compare OM3 and single-mode, and which infrastructure is worth future-proofing now.

Cisco Catalyst 1300 Stacking: 10GBASE-T Copper vs. SFP+ DAC Architecture
The Cisco Catalyst 1300 datasheet specifies up to 40G stacking bandwidth for both 10GBASE-T copper and SFP+ fiber. But does the physical medium matter? Yes. In this technical review, CCIE David Lorame breaks down the physical-layer differences-from DSP power draw and LDPC encoding to sub-microsecond twinax latency. Discover the truth about active-to-standby stack failover, and why SFP+ DAC remains the generally preferred choice for in-rack deployments.
