I have hundreds. They work great, very low failure rate, and most of that is with the SFP modules even.
I have noticed that sometimes we have to power cycle the RB260 once or twice on rare occasions to get them to respond. In other words, the light will come on SFP, but stay solid. Sometimes a reseating works. One in maybe 50 will do this on a power outage or brownout as well, just needs a power cycle again. All of mine are on SWOS 1.14 From: Af [mailto:af-boun...@afmug.com] On Behalf Of Colin Stanners Sent: Friday, June 3, 2016 4:17 PM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] SwOS FYI Have you seen any other SFP issues with the RB260GS? I remember Sterling said that very rarely there were some units that, after fluctuations in the power source, didn't detect the SFP unless they were rebooted or the SFP was reinserted. I'm trying to get an idea of their reliability for use as media converters.

After downgrading to 1.13 the link came right up. The change log shows SwOS 1.16 having a fix for the SFP port getting disabled in certain situations, but mine showed as up, so I'm not sure that is the problem I'm seeing. I didn't have 1.16 on my laptop to test.
