Think your PC can handle a 100Gbps network card? Think again.
In this video, we reveal the exact adapter used in a previous fiber optic demo, the Mellanox ConnectX-4, equipped with dual QSFP28 ports, technically capable of 200Gbps. But hereโs the catch: your system might not be fast enough to keep up.
We walk through the hardware setup, performance limitations, and why ultra-fast networking doesnโt always deliver real-world results. If you’re into home labs, fiber setups, or pushing the limits of tech, this is a must-watch.
