SFP+ Modules from other manufacturers than Netgear in XS708T managed switch

Dear folks,

 

In a new Netgear switch XS708T, I would like to use SFP+ modules from other manufacturers like Chelsio (e.g. SM10G-SR). I'm wondering if XS708T supports Netgear SFP+ modules only (like AXM761-10000S) or if it runs with SFP+ modules from other manufacturers as well?

 

Thanks for your help!

Hello JimRander, 

 

Welcome to the community! 

 

We always recommend using the NETGEAR SFP modules, other modules may or may not work. We do not do compatibility test on third party modules but other users claim that they were able to use SFP modules of different brands. IMHO, if the modules follow the standards needed it should work fine. I am adding this link for recommended modules. 

 

Thanks,
