About ME 3400 series switches

[Ruzanna Zohrabyan]

Is there any documentation which product comes with empty SFP/GBIC slots and which full? Actually I interested with ME-3400-24FS-A model.

I need SFP module 10/100 with SC connector type (20 km) which works on a single mode. Can anyone advise me which SFP type module must I choose.

Thanks

If you want to find out what transceivers are compatible with your Cisco equipment, go to the following URL and then select the speed of the tranceiver:

Reviewing the 100Mb Ethernet link, this should be the information you need...

There are two types of Fast Ethernet SFPs; one designed for 100Mb capable transceiver slots ("FE" in the part number) and one designed for GigE compatible transceiver slots ("GE" in the part number). Review the user guides to determine the bandwidth of the transceiver slot you will be using.

As I understand switch comes with empty SFP slots.

Is there any SFP supported by this switch, that includes SC connector????

Thanks again.

SFPs transceivers always have LC connectors (due to the small physical size of the module). 

You can purchase fiber optic jumper cables that have LC connectors on one end and SC (or other connector types) on the other end.  They are available from many, many sources, Panduit, Fiber Instrument Sales, FRYs, etc.  Just select the connector type, connector polish, fiber type, length and jacketing size.
