I have used 3rd party Cisco coded optics in an Intel SFP card successfully, but it won't be "officially supported". Oli On 20 June 2017 at 16:15, Baldur Norddahl <baldur.norddahl () gmail com> wrote:
The real question here is: will my NIC support other SFP+ modules than the few options carried by the NIC vendor? For example Intel claims the Intel NICs can only accept SFP+ modules by Intel. They probably do not make optics themselves and only have few options available. And indeed if you put in a third party optic it will be rejected. There are two ways around that. One is finding a device driver with vendor check disabled. The other option is to get optics that pretend to be Intel. You can get optics with vendor ID many places. A good place to start is Fiberstore fs.com because they have public pricing on the website. With the vendor id the answer to the question is that all NICs with SFP+ I ever heard about will support any range, WDM or other special SFP+ module.

We have now come to the point where we need to have 10GB uplinks one these devices and I prefer to plug in a long range 10GB fiber straight into the server without it going first into a router/switch from vendor x. Itseemsto me that all the 10GB PCIe cards only support either copper 10GBASE-T, short range 10GBASE-SR or the 10 Km 10GBASE-LR (but only very few). Are there any PCIe cards that support 10GBASE-ER and 10GBASE-ZR? I can't seem to find any. Chiel
