Huh, what were you doing, buying Cisco/HPE, or trying to use fancy single mode optics for distances that DACs could do?

I just wanted to use my CRS305-1G-4S+IN without spending more on SPF modules than I did on the cards/switch.
Have you looked at what 10gtek is selling? I tried two low-price SFP+ SR, multi-mode module vendors way back when I first got my CRS326-24G-2S+ switches and 10gtek's modules were the one that worked. Newegg is currently selling a four-pack of them for ~52 USD, and singles for ~18 USD.

The ones I have run warm (~50C in ~25C ambient) but I've had mine for something like four, maybe five years now and they're still working fine.

SFP* sorry :)
