GS752TPv2 SFP Port Issues
Hello, I recently attempted to switch from CAT6 uplinks for 2 of these switches to SFP uplinks after procuring a new router/firewall that has two SFP ports. Our firewall is a Sophos XGS 136 with 1gb...
At the risk of breaking down a little war here: Head for affordable fiber modules instead of wasting your (and my) time.
Depending on your fiber preference (MMF or SMF), head out for SRX-SFP-1GE-SX Compatible 1000BASE-SX SFP 850nm 550m DOM Duplex LC MMF, or SRX-SFP-1GE-LX Compatible 1000BASE-LX SFP Transceiver Module (SMF, 1310nm, 550m/10km, LC, DOM). Less cost than these overpriced DAC including a matching fiber patch. Total cost about USD 6.50 per module plus about USD 5.50 for one LC-LC patch cable (even here in Switzerland).. A no brainer investment.
Matter of fact Netgear (and many other vendors) don't list 1G DAC.
When I'm browsing my (big) supplier stock list, there are no DAC for 1G (neither passive nor active) - only 10G and 25G in the DAC format.
