==================================== SFP(+) Compatibility ==================================== Most OPNsense® appliances feature 10 Gigabit SFP+ cages powered by AMD® `axgbe` to allow for flexible connectivity. Different SFP(+) transceiver modules can be used to connect to different types of media (e.g. copper or fiber) depending on your needs. Our enterprise & datacenter OPNsense® appliances may also feature 25 Gigabit capable SFP28 cages powered by Intel® `ice`. Below you can find some general information as well as a list of tested SFP(+)/SFP28 transceiver modules that are verified to work with OPNsense® appliances. .. tip:: If you are using an SFP(+)/SFP28 module on one of the OPNsense® appliances that is not listed below but is working properly, consider submitting a Pull Request to `our documentation `__ to extend the list. Any contribution is welcome! ===================================================================================================================== .. contents:: Table of Contents :local: **General Information** ===================================================================================================================== There are a lot of transceiver modules available on the market and they are usually one of the following types: - Copper RJ45 Often used for connectivity up to a distance of 100 meters maximum and are relatively inexpensive. .. warning:: RJ45 SFP+ modules (10GBASE-T) can run at high operating temperatures in comparison to Fiber or DAC modules. Only the datacenter level OPNsense® appliances are equipped with passive cooling for the SFP+ cages. If the ambient temperature does not exceed 50°C, RJ45 SFP+ modules can be used in all OPNsense® appliances without issue. - Single-mode optical fiber (SMF) Often used for communication across large distances (100+km) and usually connected with either Simplex-LC or Duplex-LC OS2 patch cords. It can potentially carry more bandwidth than Multi-mode fiber, but the equipment needed to use SMF is often more expensive in comparison to MMF. - Multi-mode optical fiber (MMF) Multi-mode fiber is the alternative for SMF (up to 550M for 10Gb/s), often used for backbone applications in buildings and usually connected with OM3 Duplex-LC patch cords. - Direct-Attach (DAC) For short ranges (up to 10M), often a popular choice due to low cost and low latency. .. attention:: Most transceiver modules are available for purchase with a variety of different programming options for compatibility with different vendors. Unless specified otherwise, all modules are assumed to have the generic / MSA standard default programming. **Axgbe** ===================================================================================================================== .. note:: 10 Mbit/s is currently not supported by Axgbe. -------------------------------------- 1G Single-mode optical fiber -------------------------------------- ========= ============================== ======= ========================= Vendor Type Speed Notes ========= ============================== ======= ========================= BeanField 100BASE-BX0-D53 100Mb FlexOptix S.B1312.20.DL BiDi LX 1G Tested module rated for 20km, other distances are assumed to function properly FlexOptix S.B1312.10.D 1G Tested module rated for 10km, other distances are assumed to function properly FS SFP-FE-BX 100Mb FS SFP-GE-BX 1G MikroTik S-53LC20D 1G TP-Link 1000Base-BX WDM Bi-Directional 1G Ubiquiti UACC-OM-SM-1G-S 1G ========= ============================== ======= ========================= -------------------------------------- 1G Multi-mode optical fiber -------------------------------------- ========= ============================== ======= ========================= Vendor Type Speed Notes ========= ============================== ======= ========================= FlexOptix S.8512.02.D 1G ========= ============================== ======= ========================= -------------------------------------- 10G Single-mode optical fiber -------------------------------------- ========= ============================== ======= ========================= Vendor Type Speed Notes ========= ============================== ======= ========================= FlexOptix P.1396.10 SMF 1310nm Duplex-LC 10G Tested module rated for 10km, other distances are assumed to function properly FlexOptix P.B1696.10.DA + P.B1696.10.AD 10G Simplex-LC.
