What 1G SFP Modules work with Peplink Balance 2500?

Product Discussion Peplink Balance

Hi,

We got the Balance 2500-2sfp and we need to connect the balance to devices that only support 1G SFP.
We tried a couple of SFP’s that we have and the ones that got mention in the post -

None of the 1G SFP worked only the 10G SFP.
Because this post is from 2017 and no one added to the list it can be outdated.
Is there any 1G SFP/SFP+ that work with the Balance 2500-2sfp?

I’m adding the SFP’s that also worked with the balance 2500 that aren’t mentioned in the 2017 post -
Cisco | SFP-10G-LR-S (10G single-mode)
Cisco | SFP-10G-SR-S (10G multi-mode)
Cisco | GLC-TE (1G/10G RJ)
Finisar | FTLX8574D3BCL (10G multi-mode)

Thanks for your contribution, @Doron . It would be really helpful if Peplink were to keep a list of “known good” SFP modules current and available for any and all devices with such ports, including switches.

Hello @Doron ,

Note that both the Balance 2500EC and the Balance 2500-2sfp
SFP slots are only 10G capable, and not 1G capable.

We’ve tested A LOT of SFP modules…

The SDX somehow supports the least amount… And never got to work reliably.
The SDX Pro supports below as far our tests went…

UBIQUITI UACC-CM-RJ45-1G, 1GBPS SFP TO 1GBE RJ45 MODULE
UBIQUITI UACC-CM-RJ45-10G SFP+ TO 10GBE RJ45 TRANSCEIVER MODULE
0.5, 1M, 2M & 3M UBIQUITI 10 GBPS 0.5 METER DIRECT ATTACH CABLE SFP+

We also tried some of the Cisco modules but did not note down the models.

There is no option to use balance 2500 with 1G SFP?

Correct, the SFP slots are 10G slots only.
