I am searching for opinions on OEMs of X2 form factor 10G LAN PHY
optics. We've found that most router/switch vendors mark these
particular items up significantly just to provide their own
sticker/EEPROM ID. As such, we'd prefer if we can to procure from the
OEM (or their reseller). Is this a situation where any company who's
a signatory to the MSA produces suitable modules, or are there
particular OEMs to prefer (or avoid)?
If it matters, the prime platform we're looking to plug optics into is
the WS-X6708-10G module for a 6500/7600.
I'd suggest looking at FluxLight (www.fluxlightinc.com) for this.
Their sales and support process is nothing short of stellar, and
pricing is a fair medium between paying too much for vendor optics
and fly-by-night eBay imports.
To wit, all of their products Just Worked without ever needing Cisco's
infamous 'service unsupported-transceiver' vendor lock override.
