RouterBOARD hardware • CRS518-16XS-2XQ-RM Thermal advice / SFP28 power budget

Hello,

I've looked at the S+RJ10 guidelines (which is 2.7W and for SFP+ switches), however I need some general information for SFP28 on the CRS518-16XS-2XQ-RM

I'm assuming this switch was designed to handle slightly hotter SFP28 modules compared to SFP+ only switches

How many watts per module is reasonable? for example, could you load 16x <1.8W modules such as the FS.com SFP-10G-T100?

Or do you really need to stay more around 1.25W / module?

Thanks!
