The linecard is a WS-X6408A-GBIC<br>
<br>
And my Mikrotik is a CCR1009-8G-1S-1S+<br>
<br>
Hope this helps narrow it all down :d<br>

You will find that most Cisco coded optics will work fine as well, we've got a few Ausoptic SFP's doing CWDM in these devices and they work well.<br>

If someone offers you a choice, choose singlemode fibre. Future-you or his successor will be thankful.<br>
