Mix transceivers/SFPs on the same cable

[kkvitovs]

Hello everyone, FPR2100 supports SFP-10G-ER and SFP-10G-ER-S (https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/firepower/2100/hw/guide/b_install_guide_2100/overview.html#concept_fcc_frw_1cb)

The question is: Can we have on one end of the cable SFP-10G-ER and the other SFP-10G-ER-S? Example FPR2100 is connected through SFP-10G-ER-S and on another end of the cable can we use  SFP-10G-ER to connect to another device? And vice versa: FPR2100 with SFP-10G-ER to connect to another device using another SPF SFP-10G-ER-S?

Thank you in advance.

Yes, they will fully interoperate for the Ethernet protocol.
