Hello, I have a few of these UACC-CM-RJ45-MG new “multi-gig” NBASE-T RJ45 transceivers and they do not appear to be working in any of my SFP±supported Mikrotik gear.
I get no link activity with both autonegotiation and manual speed negotiation. This device seems similar to the S+RJ10, just using a newer revision BCM chip internally.
Any plans to support it?
I doubt its a priority unless they have customer, (talking in the $100,000+ range) that requests that functionality…
If that were the stipulation, IPv6 would have been supported in RouterOS 5 lol.
This doesn’t seem like a huge deal to implement. Like I mentioned, it’s based on a newer revision of similar hardware in the S+RJ10. If they’re working on an /r3 of it they may be working on it already, just would be nice to hear from them directly.
What version of RouterOS are you running? What version of firmware is on the switch/router? There were some SFP+ updates in 7.4.1 and later I believe.
I have a couple of the EA versions of those and they seem to work fine. The switch (or router, in my case a CCR2004) seems to negotiate 10G to the SFP+, which in turn negotiates 2.5G to the other device (in my most recent test, the latest revision of the Wave AP with a 2.5G copper port).
I’m on the 7.7 on all devices. CRS309 is firmware 7.6 (which I’m trying). I don’t believe they worked in my CCR2004 either. Mine are EA as well. I don’t get any links to any devices when they’re in, with autonegotiation or manual setting.
And under System Routerboard the firmware also 7.7?
7.8b2 has a warning that it’s not for CRS300 devices.
7.6 firmware. I’m not on 7.8b on any device. Didn’t think 7.6 firmware mattered since you mentioned the fixes were 7.4.1
Oh, I was reading on my phone on a rooftop, and I thought I saw 7.8 on the CRS309 instead of 7.6. (Guess it’s time to get glasses.)
Have you tried setting it to 2.5Gbps or 10Gbps without auto-negotiation? When I’m done with my outside work today, I’ll have to take one of those and try it on a 309 in the lab.
I tried 2.5Gbps without autonegotiation, but I haven’t tried 10. I can try that and come back.
So I just went down and tried it again, it seems to actually work on my CCR2004. However, on both my CRS309 and CRS328 I’m unable to get a link on any of the SFP+ ports. I even brought out an unopened one and that didn’t work either.
Bumping this to see if anyone has any other experience/ideas/suggestions.
Thanks!
Another bump, any feedback from 'Tik?
If you want to see any official feedback, contact Mikrotik support directly.
But don’t expect any quick fix, unless it’s something really trivial. Then it might be fixed in one or two next ROS versions…
If you need this working ASAP for a job, get a supported transceiver instead.
I’m interested as well. Did anyone manage to get these working? They worked out-of-the-box in a Intel X520-DA2, I thought they’ll just work on Mikrotiks, but CRS309/310 seem to see them (I can see the model, vendor, etc.) but no link, in either autoneg or forced 10G. Running 7.8.
I have a ticket open with Mikrotik in which they said they wanted to fix this and I provided them some logs and audit info for them to look into it. I haven’t heard anything from them though, but I imagine it’s on the table for the next update(s).
OT: You said yours worked in an X520-DA2, what OS were you using them on, and did you have to do any mods for it to work?
Thanks, I raised a ticket too, will see.
As to the X520: stable Debian, custom kernel (5.10) but no mods, just took out S+RJ10, put this in, instant link. They don’t support temp nor voltage monitoring (under Linux, at least), but I can actually hold my finger onto it, whereas with the S+RJ10 I couldn’t.
That’s good to know it works in X520 without any problems. I was looking for alternative to S+RJ10 because that runs as hot as fusion reactor… and X520 under full load is already plenty hot even with fan. So might give this one a try.. at least for X520 for now. Having it supported by ROS would be even better, running multiple S+RJ10s in a switch is horrible… you can feel the heat radiating from the SFP modules!
Did anyone retest with newer routeros, 7.10?
Go, and test yourself.
IMHO, having on the market, a 30$/€ SFP or SFP+ module supporting 1Gb/s or 2.5Gb/s would be very interesting if it can avoid such heat issues.
If my memory serves me right, reducing speed from 10Gb/s to 2.5 Gb/s is not so easy “in an autoneg world” so if you ever meet some issue on a remote site, replacing a S+RJ10 with one such 2.5 Gb/s SFP/SFP+ module can help.
