- theMMaI 3mo agofiberstore has them as well, plus you can buy modules, DACS and everything programmed to the vendor of choice, including different vendors on each end Especially handy for specific Intel NICs where they refuse to link up if the module isn't in the driver-allowed list and those modules are hard to come by
- kohlschuetter 3mo agoYou can also use a BananaPi BPI-R3 for reprogramming. And you can “upgrade“ 10 Gbit/s DACs to 25 Gb/s. Details here https://kohlschuetter.github.io/blog/posts/2026/03/22/unlock25/ https://kohlschuetter.github.io/blog/posts/2026/03/22/unlock...

- secabeen 3mo agoFS has a reprogrammer, called the FS Box. Works well.
