Hello,
We have at work 2 switches on the same floor different rooms connected with an OM3 Multi-mode 10Gb Laser optimized fiber strand. The link goes like this. 2960S > SFP GLC-SX-MMD > LC connector to SC patch-panel, > SC patch-panel > LC Connector > SFP GLC-SX-MMD > 2960S.
The Cisco switch recognizes the SFP modules. But they are in down down not connected.
The laser does seem to appear all the way on the other side on the both sides.
And at the moment i am suspecting it could the Multi-mode cable between the servers rooms.
If more information is needed please let me know.

It required couple way to test and confirm each stage.
check the modules are compatable with your model ?
1. Since you confirmed you can see the light, make sure the light go oppsite side when you connect to SFP.
2. What is the distance between these switches ?
3. can you post the configuration and capabilites of the port
also post show version of the both the switches

1. They are on the opposite site.
2. The distance is about 210 ft.

Have you tried flipping the transmit and receive on one of the fiber jumpers?
