The only SFPs that I've gotten that don't work are the ones from MT.
When I switched them out for generic/OEM SFPs they worked fine.
So, the same watchword is in effect; YMMV.

The only SFPs I've used with Routerboards so far are MikroTik branded.
I have one talking to a Ciena 3930. And another talking to a dumb
media converter. Those both work fine.
Was it Jason that was having issues getting them to talk cleanly to a
Cisco or Planet switch?
I really don't trust any MikroTik product to be very reliable, but
they're cheap so we can have lots of spares. :)

Why shouldn't they ?
To the best of my knowledge MT don't use locked Optics.. additionally
SFP's & SFP+'s are a standard ..
There are a few options on the modules (mostly for reporting light
levels and temp etc) that may or may not work...

Nate,
If you are not able to locate the MM Bidi SFP's, you might want to
try the
SMF Bidi on your MM fiber run..
Take a look at this:-

Is there a MultiMode BIDI SFP? I need to run a connection across a
warehouse, they have 3 pair of multimode fiber, but all 3 are
already in
use. They won't let me tunnel connections together, because that
would
be touching 'their' network, but I could probably talk them into
using
only a single Strand, to let me have one.
Googling around hasn't yielded any results yet, but I'm still
searching. Any other passive deivce to get 2 connections on
one/pair
Multimode fiber?
Nate
