which SFP module and fiber types are compatible with the GC 110 switch

Where can I find with SFP modules and which fiber types are compatible with the GC110 range of switches?

GC110, GC110P, GC510P, GC510PP Data Sheet p.17 does describe the (supported) modules: 

 

Optional Modules and Accessories
AGM731F-10000S SFP Transceiver 1000BASE-SX (Short range, multimode)
AGM732F-10000S SFP Transceiver 1000BASE-LX (Long range, single mode)
AGM734-10000S SFP Transceiver 1000BASE-T Copper RJ45 GBIC

However in the user manual there is a table where 10G is supported, but no sfp+ 10G is listed?

GC110P Eight PoE 10/100/1000Mbps ports
Two 10G/1G SFP+ ports

Looks like a mistakte to me - there are no SFP+/10G cabable ports on the GC110xx/GS510xx.

Also the firmware seems to block non Netgear branded modules (I tired some Netgear flashed BX-transceivers from FS.com an whyle they are recognised (otheres are just rejected) there is still no link-up detected by the switch.

10Gtek modules work fine with the GC110 models.

60 USD + shipping for a pair, damn, are those made of gold.
I only paid 40€ for the GC110P...

Whatever model variants you are talking of here. Copper? single mode fiber? multi mode fiber? BiDi?

They are made of gold aparently (sigh!) - check the list prices for SFP and SFP+ modules with major brands like Cisco (or even Netgear) - the gold digging is still live.

 

And again, no, to my knowledge Netgear does not enforce a certain brand/model flashed on the modules for the SFP ports.

 

Unlucky to disucss this here in this thread where the OP mistakingly assumed SFP+ (10G) are workable based on the false information in the user manual.

Some BiDi 1000BASE-BX SFP 1310nm-TX/1490nm modules...  

I guess I will just try some random modules until one works 😛

That is 1G SFP SX multimode for 850 nm with dual LC port (fiber side)
