Hi Nick,
Thanks for the reply, and yes, your assumption is correct.
I was exploring / wanting to know the 'code' for re-programing Finisar SFP/SFP+
I do have a programmer and the software that goes with it.
Many for the SFP/SFP+ mfg. have 'locked' eeproms, they require a special sequence of code before they can be programmed. Finisar is one of them.
I was wanting to know if there is anyone who has such code for the Finisar SFP/SFP+.
Regards.
