Tips: Original vendor SFP transceivers are much higher in cost than compatible SFP transceivers as they are claimed to be of much better quality. However, most network equipment vendors do not produce their own SFP modules. These productions are outsourced to contract manufacturer and then labeled as their specific brand. Furthermore, there is no difference in performance between original vendor SFP transceivers and compatible SFP transceivers in reality. So why not choose compatible transceivers to save your cost?
