Just to clarify the Wiitek does support 2.5gb? Id like to use one of these to connect to my firewalll
Ok, this is going to contain a few more bits of information about these modules!

First of all, I replaced a fs.com 30m module I had supporting a 2.5gb link. The amazon description did not have these modules supporting 2.5gb so I was interested to see if they actually did. I am typing this over the link, and have verified through iperf that I am getting a full 2.5gb connection. That's good.

In addition I replaced a tp-link 30m module which runs very hot with one of these, and will see how the temperature evolves. I've kept the other tplink in place so you can see.

In this switch port 1 is the newly installed Wiitek to a 10gb connection; port 9 is an fs.com 100m module - connected to the other switch above (over 70m of cat6). Port 14 is me connected over 2.5gb (but obviously shows as 10gb here).
You can see the tplink at port 5 for a temperature comparison - though the wiitek modules have only been running for a few minutes. I'll leave swapping out the other tplink until tomorrow so I can see the longer term temperature.

In my other switch which has had the wiitek overnight the temperature has only reached 46. These are substantially better for your switch operating temperature than the 30m modules!

Just to clarify the Wiitek does support 2.5gb? Id like to use one of these to connect to my firewallla with 2.5gb ports. Seems some of these support 2.5/5 and some are 10G only.

Both wiitek and the newer unifi 10GbaseT modules claim to support NbaseT.
The broadcom chip that is in them supports NbaseT. Whether NbaseT actually works depends on how the manufacturer of the module implemented the NBase-T to 10Gbase-SR conversion AND if the device you plugged it into likes it.

As a side note, I don't think the realtek chips will be better than the current broadcom ones. However, they'll be cheaper and that will help push the price down.

I'm using the Ubiquiti UACC-CM-RJ45-MG in a Mikrotik CRS309; the module negotiates NBaseT on the RJ45 side while the SFP+ side is driven at 10G.

One quirk of that module though - on RouterOS 7.19.2, a cold boot with the module already inserted, causes it to be undetectable, so I need to unplug/replug the module to detect it.

The issue might be related to the module's TX_Disable pin being directly connected to the PHY chip

Yes, it's a design flaw with that particular Ubiquiti transceiver as far as I know.

My previous post compared my experience with the Unifi and fs.com sfp+ tranceivers offering low power, 10gb over cat6 to 100m.
Well, I've now seen Wiitek list equipment which I guess has the same chipset at its centre.


I've ordered a couple to play with. I've got some places where the low temperature would be better than the existing modules I have in use.
I just got two of the Wiitek 100m transceivers from Amazon USA. The first arrived and it was DOA. It does nothing in my Brocade ICX7450. It also does nothing in my OPNsense firewall with Mellanox CX312A, and this one connects to my modem which has an actual 10G RJ45 on it. So I got a second Wiitek and have the same exact results. How is this possible. Both the Mellanox CX312A and Brocade are agnostic with respect to brand and will accept any SFP+. How can I be the only person on earth with this issue?

Thoughts?

Maybe you need to disable auto-negotiate in the SFP+ config and manually set it to 10G?

Do you see anything in the logs? Can you read information from its EEPROM?
