        Nothing. But it does look like this is basically a all in one media converter in a Sfp form factor. Not a true sfp+ unit for a nic card.

        I hope eventually we can use a proper sfp+ unit as xgs-pon gets more common

          Mmm, no way it can link if the NIC doesn't even see the module as present.

          Maybe a power requirement issue?

            The problem from my understanding is this is not a proper transceiver. It’s more a interface from the Fiber to the xgspon onu. Need something with a MAC address capability and this does not offer it.
