Fiber Modules

Question

Hi All 
 We have a customer who needs a fibre module to connect to their lease line. However, looking at the Offical Sophos ones they are a very high price. 
 Has anybody had any experience with third-party modules, We need a 1000base-LX module and I was looking at the following as an option

 Any help is appreciated :)

Hi, 
 i purchased some of the modules from fs.com. 
 I have some SFP+ Transceivers and all are fine, the only problem is if you plug a HP in CISCO or Intel into HP ... The switches will all not accept these modules. 
 Some need a few days, they flash the correct firmware into the SFP and send them out. 
 You even can flash these SFP+ Module by yourself (i think with a rasbery Pi or a BUS Pirate 3.6). 
 You could drop Anita Ye from fs.com a mail. 
 I use 
 2x for HP Aruba 4x for CISCO SG350X-48P 2x for Cheap Mellanox 10GB NIC 2x for Intel X520 
 Only problem is that the storage can&acute;t inhale all the data (55GB/min is a SSD RAID behind).
