1. CRS309 - DAX - Intel X520 = works
2. CRS309 - Wiitek Mikrotik-compatible RJ45 Transceiver (new) - STP Cat 7 - Wiitek Transceiver - Intel X520 = no link, no carrier
3. CRS309 - AIO Transceiver (used) - OM4 Fiber - AIO Transceiver - Intel X520 = no link, no carrier

I have no other 10G equipement to test each component separately.
Q1. Is CRS309 picky about transceivers? Does CRS309 have any vendor lock?
Q2. The wiki (https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/MikroTik ... ity#S+RJ10) says
But my X520 does not support auto-negotiation. Does it mean I cannot use CRS309 + X520 with a cat7 copper cable?Use these modules only in 10G SFP+ ports with auto-negotiation enabled
Q3. Can I connect CRS309 Port1 and Port2 (loop?) to test tranceivers and cables?
