RB260GSP - Possible to make a 6 Port using SFP module?

RouterOS General

Hi.

We need a small 6 port POE switch. The RB260GSP looks perfect, except its 5 ports.

I see it has a SFP cage.

Can Mikrotik / someone with knowledge let me know if I can install a 1gbit ether module in the SFP cage and turn this into a 6 port switch?

We do not need POE on this extra port BTW. Just to be able to VLAN it with the existing 5 ports.

Also, will the switching be handled by the same chipset as the 5 onboard ports? Eg: Any performance penalty to running things this way?

Thanks!

did you try to instal the RJ45 SFP module?

We have not purchased anything yet, we wanted to verify on here before buying.

I checked the comparability table, it makes no mention of the CSS106-1G-4P-1S for ANY of the SFP modules.
