Hi All! I receive questions from various folks from time to time who need to take advantage of dark fibre runs > 20Km. I have already received confirmation from MT that none of their products currently support power required to deliver greater than LR modules, so I suppose that the only option is for some kind of third party switch or media converter would be required when using MikroTik routers at the endpoints? Here is a query I received this afternoon: "What are after is integrating a 45km Single mode dark fibre into our network, obviously mikrotik routers on each end. If we could push 10Gbps that would be awesome, however if we could obtain 2 or 3Gbps with a lot less effort that would most likely be the go to start with." Does anyone have any suggestions for the OP? (I suggested that he post here, but perhaps he's a bit too shy to post in a public forum, so I offered to ask on behalf ;) Any comments will be most appreciated! Cheers, Mike.
Hi Mike (and list) I have tested SFP+ ER CWDM modules between a CCR1036 and a CCR1072 with no problems. This was on the bench via an attenuator and I had it running for a week with no major problems. Maybe I got lucky, if Mikrotik say it is not within design spec I would believe them. YMMV. On 30/10/2015 6:31 pm, "Mike Everest" <mike@duxtel.com> wrote:

Hi Guys, Just a follow up on this. I spoke with Mikrotik. There is no limitation on the type of SFP+ type that is used in CRS + CCR models. The only thing to be aware of is that on the CCR1072, the SFP+ and M2 slots share the same power rail. So if you want to use all SFP+ ports you may not be able to use the M2 slots at the same time.

Hi All, FYI. Mikrotik CCR to Mikrotik CCR 40km Prolab's SFP+(programmed for cisco) 6db attenuator and a 1ft patch lead on both legs works. I will let you know how they go in the field in the next few weeks on a 30km run. Matt with On 6/11/2015 3:25 PM, Mike Everest wrote:
