Switches tested with Centauri

Modified on Thu, 20 Jul, 2023 at 1:11 PM

All switches with SFP/SFP+ ports should be compatible with Centauri.

In some cases, there are certain switches that are only compatible with the SFPs from the same vendor.

Thus the following are all the tried and tested switches we have used with our clients.

Some of them are used as routers as well and they include a carrier hold-down timer which is useful to prevent cascading outages that may result due to protocols for rerouting in higher layers.

To learn more about the carrier hold-down timer please refer to this article.

Using these switches as an L2 interface with the Centauri will provide the most optimal performance for your laser link.

For additional information or to find out if a different switch will work with CENTAURI for your specific situation, please contact us.
