LightOptics Select Vendors allows a single SFP, SFP+, SFP28 transceiver or DAC cable to work with more than 60 network equipment manufacturers, reducing inventory complexity and deployment time. Using the LightBoard LB2 programmer, compatibility can be changed in less than a minute by reprogramming the transceiver's EEPROM data without affecting optical performance. The solution helps network administrators, integrators, and data centers simplify multi-vendor environments while maintaining reliable compatibility across supported platforms.
