GS750E cannot Link to Intel X710 network card
I am trying to connect with SFP to two different Intel Network cards, X722 and X710 and I do not get a Link LED. The INTEL cards have SFP+ ports. Did anyone had a similar problem? PS I use SFP con...

AGM734-10000S = Tranceiver 1000 base-T Copper RJ45 GBIC
This might be the appropriate support answer - Netgear does (like many other vendors) only support their own modules. However, they don't reject modules not carrying the appropriate vendor ID and name in this switch class.
The point is - as explained before - is that (lack of any link speed negotiation in the SFF standards) you can't operate SFP+ modules in SFP ports, you can't link a 1000BASE-SX-/LX with a 10GBASE-SX/-LX module, and you can't use a DAC to connect an SFP with an SFP+ port, too.
The problem with your initial post is that you have not provided any information on how you tried to connect. In the SFP/SFP+ world, things are much more complex than with copper Ethernet.

The first sentence in my initial post is :"I am trying to connect with SFP to two different Intel Network cards, X722 and X710 and I do not get a Link LED. The INTEL cards have SFP+ ports."
The title/header has the part numbers. I am not sure what else I would have added.
