CRS328-24P-4S+RM SFP Sync Rate

Does anyone know if the subject switch SFP+ port will SYNC at 2.5G?

Recently I was asked to reconfigure a network for a client that is having Bell Canada FTTH 1.5G/940M service installed .

Apparently BELL’s ONT/SFP syncs at 2.5G for this service and I want to use MikroTik gear …
I do happen to know that the Ubiquiti ES-16-XG switch does Sync at 2.5G

My plan was to remove the patch cable and the GPON ONT SFP from the ISP’s switch/router called HH3000, and then plug them into one of the SFP+ ports on the MikroTik CRS328-24P-4S+RM
For Routing I was also planning on using the CCR1072 as the Router for this client.

I checked the MikroTik SFP module compatibility table but quite frankly is does not help me to answer the Question.

I need to do this network install end of September so before I acquire the equipment I want to be sure that it will work.

Thanks for any insight the knowledgeable reader can provide.

To add to my opening post my preferred conectivity method would be as follows:

Key Information is : BELL’s ONT/SFP syncs at 2.5G …the transceiver is made by ALCATEL-LUCENT

Use the CCR1072 and connect the Bell supplied patch cable and the GPON ONT SFP into one of the SFP+ ports on the MikroTik Router then use the CRS328-24P-4S+RM as the LAN/VLAN switch.

The key question is => can ANY of the SFP+ ports on the CCR1072 sync at 2.5G?

Anyone know?

MikroTik support have confirmed that:

All MikroTik devices with SFP+ ports can establish 1G and 10G link speeds.
Only exception is S+RJ10 module which establishes 10G to the host device and can negotiate 10/100/1000/2.5G/5G/10G speed with its link partner.

Unfortunately, none of current MikroTik products is able to create a 2.5G link with fiber optic modules.
