Review: Working perfectly to link my Dell 5548 to my LB6M - Working great with my Quanta LB6M and Dell Powerconnect 5548. Bought a pair to link my 1Gbps network to my 10Gbps network which links to my router, server/ NAS, and desktop. I was initially concerned but with the available return policy I figured why not. I know my Quanta switch takes pretty much any sfp+ module but had no clue about the Dell switch. So far I am happy with how the dac's are working and I don't forsee any issues in the near future.
Review: Just what you would expect. - This goes from my unifi router to my dell switch and works great.
