I’m curious what Carl Peterson is doing too. The description on the linked item says it’s so you can put your electronics into immersed liquid cooling without exposing your optics to the liquid. Pretty esoteric stuff.
Not understanding the use case, but assuming there’s a reason you can’t extend the fiber a few feet with a jumper and mating sleeve, then how about use a DAC to reach another switch?

The existing device supports the power but the only SFP+ cage extender I can find is only rated at 2.5W. Can you passively just extend the cage pins or is this something that requires electronics? Anyone know of a higher power SFP extension cable? https://www.sfpcables.com/sfp-to-sfp-cage-with-3m-flat-cable-in-nylon-jacket-20cm-and-55cm-length-3256-5454 -- Carl Peterson PORT NETWORKS 401 E Pratt St, Ste 2553 Baltimore, MD 21202 (410) 637-3707 -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com <mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- Zach Underwood (RHCE,RHCSA,RHCT,UACA) My website <http://zachunderwood.me> advance-networking.com <http://advance-networking.com>
