No plan to include SFP+ modules/Transceivers for the purchase. You need to get it from outside vendor.

I will get back to you on Peplink Switch tested SFP+ module/transceiver later.

@Hootan_Rastkar did you face any issues using or sourcing these SFP+ modules in the field?

Not actually, but I need to make sure about the full compatibility before buying any module to prevent any issue in the future.

Hi Team, we would also be very interested in learning what the certified SFP modules are for the switches. This is a very popular question that comes up when discussing the switches. Very exciting!

According to our Switch SoC provider, it supports the SFP+ transceiver which is compliant with SFF-8431.
We have tested with the followings:
Netgear AXM761
Intel FTLX8571D3BCV-IT
Intel FTLX1471D3BCV-IT
Finisar FTLX8573D3BTL
Finisar FTLX1371D3BCL
We will keep update the list, Thanks

Sorry Keith, RCC and B3 are the customers that we used the cables from fs.com with.

Is there an updated list of known working transceivers specifically single-mode for SFP+? Also, do you know if there are any 1Gbps SFP modules which are compatible with the SD-Switch?

@nikolaus, these are the SFP+ we tested so far.

This is the single-mode SFP+

  • Intel FTLX1471D3BCV-IT

Can you share the used case of 1Gbps SFP? Fyi, SD-Switch is a gigabit switch. Hence, the fiber uplink ports should support 10Gbps for a common practice.

Thanks for the updated list- I really appreciate it :slightly_smiling_face:

As for 1Gbps, my team deploys networks at events and conferences and sometimes link to switches that aren’t ours with SFP transcievers so knowing any that work could be helpful… I understand if that’s not something worth a lot of R&D time and is more of a nice to know question

Guys, I think it’s better for Peplink to sell the certified and compatible SFP module in the online cart as the accessory for SD-Switch and B2500.

Any comment?

Is there any update on tested/supported SFPs on the switch?
