JD093B 10 GB LRM also for new Procurve 5130 ?

[Mikhill]

Neither the website nor the detailed Datasheet of the 5130 show that the 10 GB LRM Transceiver JD093B works in the 5130.

Its a bit surprising is it a mistake or just there is no LRM SFP+ for these switches ?

I found my own answer , a friend by Arrow told me they lost a big deal because of this , so its confirmed no LRM SFP+ for the Procurve 5130s. Bad news will have to offer the 2920s.

This is more than a bit surprising - the 5130 takes SFP+ transceivers - it really shouldn't matter what type of optics the transceiver uses, so long as it is an SFP+ it should work.
Why would the switch care whether it is LRM? SR works, LR works, why not LRM?

LRM optics are not supported in the 5130 because they are cheap. To keep them cheap, the low-cost ASICs without PHYs were used since the ASIC can decode the 1/10Gb encoding directly - usually. Exceptions are long distances, and LRM.
