Evening All
Those that have commissioned the Switches using SFPs, could you please share what did work for you (and even better what didn’t!)
I’m looking at generic SFPs which claim to be SFF-8431 compliant for €20-30 and then there are name brands for €250. I would rather buy 4x the cheeper model and have two spare units left on site rather than spend the extra money on the expensive units and not have a spare. Any thoughts?
Thanks
Hi Team,
The only one SFP from your lists working together for the Switch and the Balance 2500
(Intel | FTLX8571D3BCV-IT | DUAL RATE 1G/10G SFP+ SR) is not longer available (obsolete).
Could you advise if the recommended follow up SFP (FTLX8574D3BCV) works together for the Switch and the Balance 2500? Or do you have any other suggestion?
Looking forward to your feedback.

@Mandy, how about Finisar | FTLX8571D3BCL | SFP+ SR, 10g single rate from forum thread below?
Hi,
We read the threat. We check the manufacturer webpages. A lot of the mentioned SFP are already outdated.
It would be an advantage for all the reseller to have confirmed SFP working in both series. It will reduce the storage costs and the problems during installations for the reseller.
Please help. Thank you.
