Hi !

I am planning to buy some TP-Link T1700G, which have 4 SFP+ ports.
To interconnect these T1700, I naturally will use a GBIC, which is designed for SFP+, due to to higher transmission rate.
But at the ends, I have SG3209 und SG3216 switches, which both have normal SFP ports (no 'plus').
For this lower bandwidth, COULD I use a GBIC of type TL-SM311LM inside the T1700G??
GBICs are not that cheap and I have several TL-SM311LM already, which could be used at one end of the fiber line.
TL-SM311LM are not mentioned in the spec of the T1700G.

Thanks anyway,
Manfred

Generally, 1000BASE-X SFPs should work in a SFP+ port. Since SFP+ GBICs can't work with 1000BASE-X SFP GBICs on the other side of the fiber, the T1700G's SFP+ port must support SFP GBICs, too, since it's data sheet mentions the 1000BASE-X standard explicitly (under "cables").

You can check these information from tp-link website

For T1700G-28TQ/T1700X-16TS, the SFP+ port supports 1Gbps. The premise is to set the speed mode as 1000M for the SFP+ port.

On a related note, do the SFP ports on TP-Link switches support 1000Base-T Copper?

For instance, a module like the one shown here?

I have not did the test in the past, so I do not know the result. You can do the test:)
