Sfp-usb 3.0 – rs130/rd160

Hello Rose,

I need your help. I ordered the RD160 but I don’t know which SFP module I can buy for my RS130 that is compatible with the SFP module supplied with the RD160.

I would be very grateful for any help and tips.

Thanks!

The SFP module we provide is SI0012-X1ATOZ , Copper SFP Transceiver 10/100/1000Mbps Module.
The ports on RS130 are for SFP only.
The maximum throughput of RS130 is 1Gbit/s

We do not sell SFP modules separately.

@ROSEHAN

Can you explain to me why you are talking about the SFP-RJ45 copper module? My question obviously refers to the USB 3.0 SFP connection from the RS130 to the RD160. I don’t understand your answer!

Would these be correct specifications?

• Data Rate: 1.25Gb/s
• Wavelength: Up: TX1310nm/RX1550nm; Down: TX1550nm/RX1310nm
• Reach: up to 20 km; Fiber Type: Single LC single-mode fiber
• Wide Compatibility - for Cisco, Meraki, Ubiquiti, Mikrotik, D-Link, Supermicro, Netgear, TP-Link, Broadcom, Linksys and Other Open Switches.

I recommend the Cisco SFP-10G-LR 10GBASE-LR module with Corning OS2 fiber, I have an incredible result. However, I am waiting for the beginning of next week for the CISCO SFP-10G-AOC2M DAC cable (in 2m) to test, but apparently it must be even better…

I confirm that the Cisco SFP-10G-AOC DAC cable is even better than the Cisco modules previously mentioned. Everything is more relaxed, the impact of the bass is striking, the gain is depth and width of the soundstage has improved again. Hour after hour it gets better and better

Dear PatriceP
Where did you order the Cisco SFP-10G-AOC cable?
Thanks for your answer.
Best wishes for audiophile enjoyment.

Hello Andreas,
I bought it on Ebay (Austrian seller), however, I should receive today THE DAC cable: Amphenol SF-SFPP2EPASS-001 that everyone is talking about at the moment, I am looking forward to testing it. I will give you my feedback very soon.

So, here is my feedback for the 2 DAC cables (Cisco and Amphenol), the Amphenol is slightly better in the midrange and the soundstage is just huge, unfortunately, there are small noises (like electrostatic discharges), it’s quite disconcerting, the sound is so incredible…
So I put the Cisco back between RS130 and RSA720 and I connected the Amphenol to the network SFP slot of the RS130, the other end to the SFP port of my Sotm switch.
Wow, it’s the winning combo, everything is there, from the extreme bass to the treble, the voices are amazing, the soundstage is huge, really three-dimensional. My installation has climbed several steps. I will not change these DAC cables anymore, they are fantastic and the investment is only 150€ for both!!!
