We buy them extensively and have had zero data problems with more than 300 parts in the field. Some switch/router manufacturers’ firmware poutily refuses to let you read snmp stats from any “unauthorized” SFPs modules, and some oem salespeople lyingly claim that using them voids your warranty, but this is just an attempt to keep customers captive to insanely overpriced OEM parts.
And if you buy them coded to said switch/router vendor (or code them yourself with the "fs box" which is reasonably priced), said switch/routers usually start cooperating for you. -- Brandon Martin
