Re: Alternatives to Cisco SFP-GE-S?

Does anyone have any practical long term experience with third party
alternatives to the (must be made from solid gold) Cisco SFP-GE-S module
that they'd like to share with me? I suppose I could just use compatible
GLC-SX-MM instead, but I kind of want to have DOM support.

There are plenty of vendors which can sell you SFPs which are "Cisco
coded" (i.e. the Cisco switches don't complain), have DOM support and
are much more reasonably priced than Cisco. We have had good experience
with Zycko.
