Compatible transceivers 10Gbps, for Cisco, Hpe?

Question

network hardware

Good afternoon!
Tell me, please, you need to choose transceivers that will work with Cisco and HPE equipment, distance meter, speed 10Gbps. I do not really understand how to deal with manufacturers of different vendors.
Switch model Cisco 9300, HPE has an HP J9538A 8p 10G-GbE SFP+ v2 zl module.
Just to understand, I need the same transceivers, but there is no guarantee that they will be supported by both devices. Or can you put different ones with the same characteristics?

Answer 1

Identical transceivers are of course not needed. In Cisco, put compatible with Cisco, in HP - compatible with HP. The main thing is that they implement the same physical fiber transmission standard of the 10GBASE-XX family (and be frequency compatible). For a link of one meter, there is no difference what to use - singlemode and multimode, moreover, at such a distance, you can usually use an optical patch cord with multimode fiber even with single-mode SFP modules.
And it would be easiest and cheapest to take a Direct Attach copper cable if you could find one that would be compatible with both switches.

Answer 2

hp is more famous than others for its intolerance towards other people's components. So there are more chances for normal operation if you put hp on both sides.

but there is no guarantee that both devices will support them

Indeed, there is no guarantee. Therefore, they usually try to keep the equipment of one company in one place. This is the essence of the nasty phenomenon of vendor lock-in .

Answer 3

Identical transceivers are not needed, transceivers of the same standard are needed, 10G-SR will suit you just fine. Rarely (albeit aptly) they do not work with each other within the standard, but as an exception, and not as a rule. Do not buy them with hands without the possibility of an exchange / return.
