    Hello,

     

    the SFP ports of my HP switches (e.g. HP ProCurve 2510G-24) were protected from factory with dust protection plugs. These are marked with Foxconn and of a rubbery soft material (see attachement).

     

    I'm looking for a supply source (preferably with online shopping) for exactly these SFP dust caps. Most of the other dust covers are made ​​of PVC, and IMHO are too hard, and therefore they do not fit properly and sometimes slip out of their own.

     

    Where can I get those dust caps for SFP cages? I need quite a lot ...

     

     

    TIA.

    Not an answer to your question, but just a remark:

    I seem to remember the dust-caps that are supplied with all other E-series switches can be inserted 180 degrees rotated and in that case they seem to fit, but may fall out later because they don't really 'click' into place.
