Re: sfps from fs dot com

[Mel Beckman <mel () beckman org>]

We buy them extensively and have had zero data problems with more than 300 parts in the field. Some switch/router 
manufacturers’ firmware poutily refuses to let you read snmp stats from any “unauthorized” SFPs modules, and some oem 
salespeople lyingly claim that using them voids your warranty, but this is just an attempt to keep customers captive to 
insanely overpriced OEM parts.

FS.com’s bi-di modules are particularly ingenious, letting you add bidirectional fiber to devices the oem manufacture 
doesn’t even sell optics for in an attempt to create artificial product segmentation.
