What chip does the GS108X switch use?

Does anyone know if it uses a Broadcom chip? I hope to be able to use it after a music server and prior to feeding into an FMC that connects to a streamer. The cable connected to the transceiver is a Amphenol NJDDGN0002 copper dac cable if that matters. My hope is to eliminate a FMC and the cable attached to it. Thanks for any help.

    The GS108X is of the SFP+ so 10G type, and can do both 1000M and 10000M. Some peers on the DAC tend to connect on the fastest speed, since there is (different from Ethernet on copper) -no- auto-negotiation. A typical issue on fiber installations btw.

    Amphenol NJDDGN0002 is a passive cable with some EEPROM for identification.

    Extremely vague. What FMC, what music server, what streamer? What issue are you behind?

      I don't have any issues other than finding out what kind of chip this switch uses. I included a photo
