The FireBrick FB2900 has 4 copper ports and 1 SFP port. The SFP port allows flexible connection to other devices - e.g. a 5th copper port, fibre or DACs, and even VDSL modem (ymmv).
==TL;DR==
Regarding the SFPs, the short version is almost any copper SFP should
work for the FB2900, but there are a few silly types that don't. Generic MSA encoded SFPs should be fine.
The longer version for a bit more context:
for the various vendors and models it can do)
===RX_LOS Types Don't work===
Copper SFPs of the "RX_LOS" type don't work with the FB2900, such as the
and it's flashable derivatives will also be in this class. The RX_LOS
type are a bit of a daft class and I've never really got my head around
just why Flexoptix T.C12.02.
===Copper SFPs===
One final thing to bear in mind with a Copper SFP, is that they can only
not get you a link.
===VDSL SFPs===
We have tried VDSL SFPs, and they do work. There are a few caveats - they seem to run hot and may provide a less stable connection (i.e. sync drops).
=== 10G SFP+s===
We don't recommend trying to use a SFP+ DAC
===FB6000===
There are no SFP ports on the FB6000 model.
===Port Status===
The FireBrick does give you some information about the SFP:
