Hi All,

First, let me say that I'm a very technical person, but this whole 10GB networking thing comes with lots of new things to learn.

I have a T1600G-28TS switch and I wanted to utilize the four SPF ports on the device, so I purchased a 10GB network card for my windows server and two SPF cables to connect the card to the switch.

The problem is that after connecting the SPF cables to the card and then to the switch, I get no ethernet. No lights on the switch and no activity on the card.

I assume being a n00b at this, I've purchased the wrong type of cable !!

If someone could look at these two products and let me know if they should be compatible with setting up an SPF connection with a 1600G-28TS switch ?

Here is the card : https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01DCZCA3O/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Here are the cables : https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00B3T6C9U/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

If one or both of these are not compatible, could possible suggestions be made as to alternatives please ?

Appreciate your time and assistance.
