Question

Which SFP Transceiver module for 200D?

First, thanks for all the help recently on my posts.  I'm trying :).

 

My fiber installer recommended the FG-TRAN-SX-CA module for my Fortigate 200D.  In my haste and inexperience (and need to find one on Amazon) I instead ordered this SFP transceiver (FG-TRAN-SX/G-TRAN-SX-HPC).  Spoiler alert: It doesn't work.

 

I've been trying to find a spec sheet on this (used) 200D that gives me some hint at compatibility but I'm not having any luck.  I tried to find the difference between the "CA" and the "SX/HPC" but also no luck there.  

 

So, I guess my question is, where can I find a list of transceivers compatible with the 200D?  Are any of them available on Amazon?

    So you where given a recommendation and ignore it and the one you bought does not work? 

     

    I would look at the spec sheet and go find a compatible cisco module. Most cisco modules work in a fortigate fwiw.

    I thought I was pretty clear that's what happened :)

    I've seen this, but I don't understand it. It doesn't list models. How do I know which is compatible with the 200D?
