Hi Nick, Thanks for the reply, and yes, your assumption is correct. I was exploring / wanting to know the 'code' for re-programing Finisar SFP/SFP+ I do have a programmer and the software that goes with it. Many for the SFP/SFP+ mfg. have 'locked' eeproms, they require a special sequence of code before they can be programmed. Finisar is one of them. I was wanting to know if there is anyone who has such code for the Finisar SFP/SFP+. Regards.

this is a very broken question. I'm going to assume you have a bunch of finisar transceivers and you want to reprogram them to look like e.g. cisco or juniper or whatevs.
You can find a bunch on the internet using your favourite search engine with the term "sfp programmer". The difficulty is getting one which will be able to reprogram your SFPs in the way that they need to be reprogrammed. If the reprogrammer includes the software to do this properly, you're on to a winner.
