Still in search of some sub $30 2m DAC's that work with this switch since I need to buy at least 8 of them to replace my Nebula's.
Very strange indeed! Maybe working with an asterisk?So good news...
My Nebula CBL-10GSFP-DAC-2M 2M SFP+ DAC do in fact work but only when connected to both my Ubiquiti switches (ES-48-LITE & ES-16-XG) on both ends. Before I was testing between my Dell X1052 and the ES-16-XG in which case I was getting no link or inventory recognition. Now I need to test connectivity between the Ubiquiti switch and my SuperMicro Xeon D servers.
Will report back once I can test that @Patrick so you can possible move the Nebula DAC's to the "Working" section.
So it appears the issue is indeed the ES-16-XG compatibility. The Nebula DACs work fine connecting my ES-48-LITE to either my Dell X1052 or my SuperMicro SFP+ ports. However the ES-16-XG will ONLY work if connected to the ES-48-LITE. It will not link up to either my Dell X1052 OR my SuperMicro SFP+ ports. I've yet to upgrade the firmware on the switch so maybe I'll give that a shot but if that's a no go it's really disappointing.Very strange indeed! Maybe working with an asterisk?
The P/N is SFP-10G-DAC but that's just the generic model #. When you order customized here it asks you choose the switch brand and enter the switch model number. I even spoke to the head salesman there personally who said they would test connectivity for my exact scenario which was obviously BS.@IamSpartacus mind sharing the FS model number(s) so we can add to the list?
Have you attempted to get a DAC that is coded for two different vendor eprom on each end? For instance UBNT on one SFP+ and Cisco/Intel on the other SFP+? This is needed in some situations when a NIC only supports their own "vendors" DAC.The P/N is SFP-10G-DAC but that's just the generic model #.

P.S. Same situation as my Nebula DAC's, the FS DAC's work fine connecting Ubiquiti to Ubiquiti switch but not to any other device (Intel SFP+, Dell Switch).
Well when I spoke to the salesman at FS.com I specifically asked for exactly that but it doesn't appear to have happened. Where else can I have that done for a reasonable price?Have you attempted to get a DAC that is coded for two different vendor eprom on each end?

Yea, I think I should have been more patient and waited for version 2 of this switch. It seems Ubiquiti is known for v1 issues according to many.@IamSpartacus that trend is becoming apparent given the list we have compiled.
Can also confirm they work with the Intel X552 on the Supermicro X10SDV.Brand: Mikrotik
Model: S+DA0001
Type (SFP+, DAC): DAC
DAC length if applicable: 1m
Status: Working
