Review on πŸ”Œ Cable Matters 10Gb 40Gb OFNP Plenum Rated Multimode Duplex 50/125 OM3 Fiber Cable: LC to LC Fiber Patch Cable - 9.8 Feet/3m by James Naylor

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Everything I needed!

Use with 10Gtek for Mellanox MFM1T02A-SR, 10Gbps SFP+ transceiver module, 10GBASE-SR, MMF, 850nm, 300 meters, for use with four Luxul AMS-4424P switches in stack mode and works perfectly. For those who don't know, managed switches that support stack mode and are used in stack mode behave like one giant switch where you only need the IP address of the master switch and you only care about its Web server can register. Firmware updates, reboots, etc. affect all of them at once, but still allow you to fine-tune the ports for each switch in the stack. VLANs apply to the entire stack, not just a switch. This switch model I'm using only allows 10 gigabit connections between switches via SFP. What I like about the MMF I'm using is that it's a lot less bulky than copper and collisions aren't possible as there's a fiber for each direction so they can be very far apart and still act like a giant switch behave in one place. This is a high quality cable at a very reasonable price.

Pros
  • Accessories and Consumables
Cons
  • Large and Bulky
