Review on πŸ”Œ SFP+10GBASE-T Copper RJ45 Transceiver Module | Compatible with Dell GP-10GSFP-T | Up to 30m Reach | Ideal for Data Centers, Switches, Routers by Sara Cassidy

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Solid, works well. Curiously, 850nm multimode fiber is reported.

Used in MikroTik CRS305-1G-4S+IN 10GbE switch. Remember that 1GBASE-T modules require more power than fiber or DAC modules, so they run hotter - any 1GBASE-T module will do. Make sure your device can handle it! I had some issues with the first device I received. It worked for a few days and then lost connection. I had to reset by removing and reinserting the module and then it worked again for a few days. However, HiFiber contacted me directly as soon as I reported this issue and sent me another one. Since then the exchange has worked flawlessly. Excellent five star customer service! Unfortunately, this module does not support DDM, so temperature or line status is not reported to the switch. The manufacturer tells me this is to be expected. Even stranger, it is reported as a Multimode (SR) 850nm fiber optic module with part number SFP-10G-SR. Unfortunately this makes the SFP+ module side of my switch less useful, but it has nothing to do with the core functionality. the same assembly line. The physical construction is as solid as you would expect. However, some ethernet cables with a large trunk may have difficulty fitting fully into the socket. You may need to try more than one cable. (Updated to reflect the result of the original edition and raise the overall rating accordingly.)

Pros
  • Fingers crossed
Cons
