hi,
I have a new WS-C3650-48TD-S. Is an SFP-GE-S supported on the last 2 ports labeled G3[]TE3 and G4[]TE4? I put in an SFP-GE-S in G4[]TE4 and it works fine. My question is about support. Since it is labeled G4[]TE4 will the SFP-GE-S be supported by Cisco if I run into trouble later on?
thanks,
Andy

Hello,
if the SFP-GE-S is a Cisco product, it will be supported. If it is a third party SFP: Cisco has a very strict policy regarding third party products (see the link below). Here is an excerpt:

Georg,
thank you for the feedback. Yes, the SFP-GE-S is a Cisco product. I have Cisco GLC-SX-MMD that I may use as well. My WS-C3650-48TD-S has two ports labeled G3[]TE3 and G4[]TE4. I want to know if the use of those 1G SFP modules in those ports is supported by Cisco.
It is the first time I have seen a switch with the G# and TE# label for the same port.
thanks,
Andy

Found it in the documentation:
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/catalyst3650/hardware/quick/guide/cat3650_gsg.html#wp79867
SFP and SFP+ Transceiver Module Ports:
Depending on the model of the switch you are working with, the four SFP module slots can be all 1-Gigabit SFP module slots or all 10-Gigabit SFP+ module slots. They can also be a combination of a pair of SFP modules slots on the left and a pair of SFP+ module slots on the right. SFP+ module slots support both SFP and SFP+ modules.
thanks

Hello,
indeed,TE is short for TenGigabitEthernet, which is supported by SFP+.
