They have transceivers for $8 sure, but are they 1/10Gbit transceivers, or are they 1/2.5/5/10 transceivers? Will they work with your switch? How long will they

They have transceivers for $8 sure, but are they 1/10Gbit transceivers, or are they 1/2.5/5/10 transceivers? Will they work with your switch? How long will they work for? (SFPs get crazy hot.)
Mikrotik makes an SFP module that's super reliable and supports 1/2.5/5/10. It's $53/unit.
- fleventynine 3y agoWhy would you want to run 2.5G or 5G over fiber? 10G fiber transceivers are dirt cheap and barely use any power. It's the 10G copper transceivers that have thermal/power issues...
- nunez 3y agoI had 10G fiber transceivers crap out on me, for what it's worth. The Mikrotik SFPs are quite good though.
