Hi Greg,
just a quick note about the SFP/SATA cable that is necessary to connect
Ethernet on a Sayma directly. I suggest building them from a passive SFP
copper cable (e.g. http://www.fs.com/products/36649.html) cut in half,
with a male (motherboard or disk) connector soldered at the end.
Some switches or media converters require a EEPROM or the LOS signal
that the copper cable provides, and the male connector is more solid
mechanically than soldering a SATA cable inside a SFP.
The cable I got from you had its transceiver line connections damaged,
plus it cannot work on my media converter due to the missing EEPROM or
LOS (not sure which - LOS would be relatively easy to fix, just connect
to ground). The FS.com cable above is properly detected.
Sébastien
