compatibility with NETGEAR MS510TXPP

Hello all,

 

I have a Netgear MS510TXPP switch at work.

 

This switch has one "SFP+ fiber" port.

QUESTION 1:

Although it is presented as a "fiber" port, can anyone confirm that I can use this port with a copper SFP+ cable?

 

I need to connect this switch to a QSFP28 port.

10G is sufficient.

I am thinking of using a QSFP+ to (4x) SFP+ breakout, and plug one of the 4 SFP+ into the SFP+ port of the switch.

I selected 3 models:

https://www.fs.com/fr/products/69909.html

QUESTION 2:

Are these models compatible with the switch?

 

Many thanks,

 

- Julien

  • Formally compatible are the Netgear devices as listed on the MS510TX MS510TXPP Data Sheet p.12.

     

    There are two SFP+ DAC cables (one meter and three meters) listed:

     

    AXC761-10000S SFP+ DAC CABLE (1m)
    AXC763-10000S SFP+ DAC CABLE (3m)

      Hi Schumaku,

       

      Thanks for your answer.

      What I need to use is not a SFP+ <--> SFP+ cable like the one you suggest, but instead a QSFP+ <--> 4 x SFP+ adapter.

      Is there any that is supported by the switch?

       

      Thanks,

        I understand what you intend to do - however there is no such similar cable offered by Netgear, and nothing the like is certified therefore. It's a set-up which don't happen every day, so figure... 

         

        Worth a test. Well possible, it will work if this is a passive cable, permitting the other switch with the QSFP+ can run on a single 10G.
