I'm guilty to be trapped in ubiquiti world.
In an attempt to improve a segment of my network I bought USW-Enterprise-8-PoE-EU and three SFP+ UACC-CM-RJ45-MG which are 10/5/2.5/1 copper modules.
I've been told by the technical service of ubiquiti that those "enterprise" switches don't allow 5/2.5 speeds, only 10/1.
So USW-Enterprise-8-PoE-EU and UACC-CM-RJ45-MG will only work at 10 or 1 Gbit. Is that possible? Has anyone been able to run it at 5 gbit on those switches?
I've read your article comparing different SFP+ modules, and, AFAIK, those capabilities are module-wise not switch-wise. On the other side I know the world of SFP is a little messy but MSA exists. The modules are from the same brand as the switch. The brand has few "enterprise" switches in his catalogue
On the other hand...
There is no compatibility chart of accesories for the switch nor a list of compatible switches for the SFP module.
Their documentation in the specifications and compatibility area is scarse and mostly outdated.
