[c-nsp] Cisco SG500XG 10GE switch

[Philip Smith]

Hi everyone,

This is a bit of a long shot, I know...

Does anyone have any experience of using the Cisco SG500XG 10GE switch
with (long haul - ie 80km) ZR optics?

Cisco don't list the SFP+ as a supported one in the spec (just goes up
to 40km).

I'm just wondering if I can use this switch as a "repeater" in some long
haul 10GE links. The idea was to put a simple managed switch in so that
it'd be easier troubleshooting individual spans (if required) than
putting in an unmanaged device like a 10Gbase to 10GBase optical line
converter (with two 10G ZR SFP+)

Thanks for any suggestions!
