SFP+ RJ45
I am running a 110P on a bonded trunk pair from a 728XP. I was hoping to use the 1Gbps SFP ports on each of the switches to do this and keep the PoE ports free. However, neither one of them likes the 1Gbps SFP to RJ45 adapters that I got from fs.com. The bonded pair works fine on PoE ports (with the PoE off), however a single link with the SFP to RJ45 adapters is very flaky and the bonded pair is a disaster. SFP+ DAC cables work fine on the bench but aren't an option in this office. Has anyone had a similar issue, or know of adapters that do work?
OK, the cheap SFP to RJ45 adapters work if you only use them on one end. The other end must go into a normal RJ45 port. No idea about the official ones, but this is good enough for now. At least I can use all 10 ports on my GC110P.

Hi Theolodian,
The AGM734 would be compatible to both GC110P and GC728XP switches. As reference, kindly check the data sheet of the respective switches below:
GC110P Data Sheet - check Optional Modules and Accessories page 15
GC728XP Data Sheet - check Optional Modules and Accessories page 15
Refer to the table below:

I guess technically it is a solution. However it is not a practical solution as it is cheaper to buy more switches than buy the official adapters.
