compatibility with NETGEAR MS510TXPP

[jreinauld]

Hello all,

I have a Netgear MS510TXPP switch at work.

This switch has one "SFP+ fiber" port.

QUESTION 1:

Although it is presented as a "fiber" port, can anyone confirm that I can use this port with a copper SFP+ cable?

I need to connect this switch to a QSFP28 port.

10G is sufficient.

I am thinking of using a QSFP+ to (4x) SFP+ breakout, and plug one of the 4 SFP+ into the SFP+ port of the switch.

I selected 3 models:

- https://www.fs.com/fr/products/69909.html

- https://fr.rs-online.com/web/p/cordons-serie/7754883/

QUESTION 2:

Are these models compatible with the switch?

Many thanks,

- Julien

Formally compatible are the Netgear devices as listed on the MS510TX MS510TXPP Data Sheet p.12.

There are two SFP+ DAC cables (one meter and three meters) listed:

AXC761-10000S SFP+ DAC CABLE (1m)
AXC763-10000S SFP+ DAC CABLE (3m)

Hi Schumaku,

Thanks for your answer.

What I need to use is not a SFP+ <--> SFP+ cable like the one you suggest, but instead a QSFP+ <--> 4 x SFP+ adapter.

Is there any that is supported by the switch?

Thanks,

- Julien

I understand what you intend to do - however there is no such similar cable offered by Netgear, and nothing the like is certified therefore. It's a set-up which don't happen every day, so figure... 

Worth a test. Well possible, it will work if this is a passive cable, permitting the other switch with the QSFP+ can run on a single 10G.
