Hi Team,
Correct NETGEAR doesn't have simplex (Bi-Directional) modules. I can confirm that the Fully Managed Switches (www.netgear.com/managed) can support 1G BiDi modules (SFP ports on 1G models; SFP+ ports on 10G models) and 10G BiDi modules (SFP+ ports only).
Of course, third-party modules must be MSA standard and properly advertising their capabilities to the switches. We at NETGEAR cannot really provide support when technical issues are determined to be caused by third-party modules. But again, on Fully Managed switches we have experience, and many customers successfully use BiDi modules in production on M4250, M4300, and M4500 series.
For any questions or advice, please don't hesitate to send us an email at ProAVDesign@netgear.com
