For network cables, FS.com. Their specialty is fiber optics and they have good transceivers and cables for really cheap prices and they also sell a tool to flash vendor info onto transceivers so if you have some picky proprietary box you can still use generic transceivers with it. Their copper products, DACs, regular cat6 patch cables, etc are good too. I haven’t tried their NICs or switches though.
This is the way. I paired it with a totally necesary $110 Arista 7050S for 52 ports of 10G SFP+ that I use maybe 7 ports of.
