There are probably thousands of different SFP types and brands, and it is impossible for us to test UbiSwitch with every single type.

However, the general rule is that the UbiSwitch SFP ports will work out the box with any 10Gbps capable SFP. All 10G SFP use the same underlying protocol on the electrical side (10GBASE-R). Unlike some switches, UbiSwitch is designed to work with any SFP, and will not differentiate based on brand. In our lab, we have tested UbiSwitch successfully with the following brands and types.

✅ **H! Fiber ASF-10G2-T** | 10G/5G/2.5G/1G Copper SFP  
✅ **10Gtek ASF-10G-T** | 10GBASE-T Copper SFP  
✅ **Cisco SFP-10G-SR** | 10G Optical SR SFP  
✅ **Cisco SFP-10G-LR** | 10G Optical LR SFP  
✅ **Arista SFP-10G-LR** | 10G Optical LR SFP  
✅ **FS SFP-10GLR-31** | 10G Optical LR SFP  
✅ **FS SFP-10GSR-85** | 10G Optical SR SFP  
✅ **Lenovo 10GBASE-SR** 10G Optical SR SFP  
✅ **Panduit SFP 10G Copper DAC cable 3m** | 10G Copper Cable

If your SFP is not a 10G SFP (For example, a 1G SFP), then UbiSwitch will not work out the box with your SFP. If you have to use a 1G SFP, you will need to modify some jumpers on the board, see the forum post below.

Locate SM1 jumper [Screenshot 2023-09-14 at 12.40.29] Cut the track between the two pads with a scalpel. You can resolder it to re-enable 10G operation. For port 0, the process is a bit more involved, and is detailed in this forum post.
