Do you have knowledge what kind of cables do work reliably for Mikrotik ... except Mikrotik ones of course
I tried CISCO and HP refubrished ones but they link @1Gb only despite any combination of port settings.
Hi,
Between CSS610, CRS306,CRS309, CCR2004, RB5009 I was using cheap 10G Chinese cables from 10GTek and H!Fibre, from 25cm to 4m. They all worked flawlessly. I used different (recent 6.49>, 7.2>, SWOS2.14) RoS and SWOS versions.
Reading the reports about SFP+ issues make me wonder if that was only pure luck.
I use FS.com DAC with generic coding as that is what is recommended for Mikrotik and thy work great at 10G for years. I also have the FSBox to program their DAC cables as well as their optics. It's quite handy to program each side of a DAC to the desired brand.I also use solid-optics.com brand DAC with Mikrotik fine.
I'm using two passive DACs, one from Curvature and other from Arista Networks. Both work between the CCR2004-16G-2S+PC and two MELLANOX MNPA19-XTR 10Gb NICs.
Using some MikroTik S+AO0005 and MikroTik XS+DA0003 for some time now without any problems.
DId I miss something and there are problems with Mikrotik ones?
