Prosafe 10G copper module recommendation
Hi- I have a new prosafe XS708Ev2 switch and wanted to utilize the SFP+ port.
I'm having a hard time finding the reccomended 10Gbase-t copper module. Will the AXM765 work or is there a more appropriate model I should be looking for?
Thanks much
Hey thanks for the quick response.
You're right regaridng the 8x10G ports. I'm glad you actually brought this up- does the SFP+ combo port mean that that just the SFP port can't be utlized as an independent 9th copper port when adding a copper module?

The AXM765 or the compatible modules from other vendors would be the right choice. But wait: The XS708Ev2 already has eight 10G copper ports, the #8 with copper and SFP+ is a so-called combo or shared port which can be used instead of the 10G copper port for SFP+ fiber modules.

Correct - both the last copper and the SFP+ port are #8 - mutually exclusive usage. No #9 available.
