FS Box V2: a field tool to recode transceivers and DAC/AOC cables to match different switch vendors

FS Box V2 is a firmware/coding tool kit for optical transceivers and DAC/AOC cables. It reprograms a module's compatibility code so it is accepted by a target switch platform, letting engineers adjust coding in the field or when a switch is upgraded to a version that no longer accepts the old code. Hardware involved: SFP+, SFP28, QSFP28, DAC, AOC.

• Transceivers: SFP+, SFP28, QSFP28, DAC, AOC
• Form factor: SFP+, SFP28, QSFP28, DAC, AOC
