10G RJ45 to SFP+ transceiver module to use with a Netgate 6100max
-
@stephenw10 I guess ignorance is bliss for me.
When I set them both up I had them connected to a UniFi 8 port switch connected at 1G.
I had bought some better transceivers and had meant to switch them out for the long term. I'll have to see if they even work now.
I just ordered 8200's to replace firewalls. I hope my luck holds up. If it doesn't I'll have to keep the 7100 around for sure.

I am filled with much optimism and willing to take the chance. Even 2.5G will do me
I’m good with the downsides Steve highlighted

Hi @jimp sorry if I revived this thread, but I just wanna ask if this transceiver from Netgate transceiver modules is compatible with Netgate 6100 SFP interface?
-
That module will work, it's not an RJ-45 copper module which was being discussed here.

@cylosoft Hi, would you mind please posting the cheap RJ45 to SFP+ modules that you got working in the 6100 and 7100? I am interested in trying them. Thanks!
-
It would be interesting to test them. Depending on exactly how cheap they are.

We ran QSFPTEK on several boxes. Several 6100 we have this module and it runs flawless with them. On a 7100 after about a month it would stop routing traffic. Pulling the module out and putting it back in was enough to get things running again.
On the 8200's we have several running Mikrotik. No issues at all. This looks like the one I'd go for.

@cylosoft Did you check how hot the transceivers run? Usually the RJ45 to SPF+ ran very hot as they need to convert the signal. You mentioning that one of them would lock up after a month could indicate a heat issue.

Yeah we had discussions around exactly that. They run hotter than I'd like. Could be the cause. We weren't able to line up lock ups with temp, traffic, or anything.
