Customer Reviews:

Good product; lousy support........2006-12-29

I wanted to use the Netgear GS716T and GS724T models with LANBasics OT-2201 SFP modules. The Netgear manuals say:
"The two module bays accommodate standard SFP GBIC modules, such as the AGM731F or AGM732F from NETGEAR, allowing you to have fiber connections on your network." However, there's no specific mention of MSA-compliance (MSA = Multi-Source Agreement).
Netgear support was not helpful - their responses to my queries were slow to uninformative to nonexistent. Eventually, they told me that they wouldn't tell me of any SFPs other than their own, that would work with their equipment.

Some manufacturers *cough* Cisco *cough* program their equipment to accept only their brand of SFPs. The above statement assured me I'd not have that problem. However, Netgear support was not cooperative; I had issues which turned out to be cabling problems, but they were of no help troubleshooting.
