Hello,
I have seen the incredibly cheap Intel 100G transceivers linked here (somewhere).
Only problem is that shipping to europe is 30€ + taxes so the $5 seems less nice after that.
I instead bought a set of Kaiam XQX4002 from France. (lot 2x KAIAM XQX4002 100G-CWDM4 QSFP28 100 Gb 1310nm 2km Transceiver | eBay)
35€ in total for 2 incl. shipping which is acceptable.
Only problem is that I cannot get a link.
Cabling is 30m OS2 + 2m OS2 after Keystone module.
Here is ethtool output from my server:
Seems to be recognized okay.
