And why is that? We have many non-cisco optics deployed without trouble. I would avoid the cheapest-of-the-cheap optics, as those have been rumored to have trouble, slow i2c responses, or other issues that the software is poorly coded to handle. We’ve done this with SFP, XFP, SFP+ and CFP

This is exactly the opposite of my experience. The Cisco branded optics are generally the problem supporting dom properly, or have interoperability issues in their own gear, while the generics + a programmer are generally more reliable, far cheaper, and far more usable across the different

Agreed. We have all sorts of third party brand SFPs around here. 1G and 10G. You can buy both DOM capable or not. We've not had any problems out of them. Actually, this morning we swapped out an optic that died over night. It was a Cisco branded one. :) -Christopher On 2/2/15, 12:56 PM, Jared
