M4250-26G4XF-PoE+ adding copper SFP
In an attempt to expand the port count of the switch, we have added two proper Netgear copper SFP modules. The switch recognizes them and show that they are supported. However, when an attempt to con...
Sorry for not responding sooner as I don't log in frequently.
I see that you mentioned that a PC connected to the adapter worked flawless. I thought at one time I had the same result from my laptop adapter but that had been a few weeks prior and do not recall exactly what all I had done.
What I did discover is that a different device with a gigabit port would connect with no issue and maintained that connection without further issue. The parts that I found strange are that a Dante port of an amplifier would not connect but the connection with a Epiphan recording device would connect. The Dante port will be a gigabit connection and I assumed it would work(Iwas wrong) and works no problem on one of the other standard ports.
The compatibility of the device connected to the GBIC adapter is what is not completely understood. As a trunk port from one switch to another is understandable.
I do not recall exactly where I had read of some others experiencing the similar issue. I might have found threads on Redit.

Original Netgear AGM734 or (as in my problem case) Netgear AXM765v2 supporting up to 80 m copper link coverage, resp. the earlier AXM765 allowing copper link length of up to about 30 m?
Heading onsite today once more, intend swapping the exensive AXM765v2 to some no-name GbE module with 80 meters coverage - hope the trunk comes up at least on reduced GbE speed, while freeing up a M4250-8G2XF-PoE+ copper port, to avoid the temporarely connected GS105PE as it takes up to much space there.
