Cabling for GLC-SX-MMD in Cisco2960X

[Sushant Jain]

Hi,

I have Cisco 2960X configured with 2 GLC-SX-MMD Transceiver modules.

There is core switch at the other end (Model no. not sure), configured with 2 GLC-SX-MMD Transceiver modules.

I am trying to find out the Cisco cable which can connect these transceiver modules with each other.

Access Switch---to--Core Switch

Please help.

Thanks,

Sushant

Cisco isn't in the fiber cabling business so they don't have a part to sell you for that use case. You can use a fiber cable and/or jumper from any reputable manufacturer. The GLC-SX-MMD transceivers require an LC-type connector on multimode fiber. They work best with OM3 or better 50 micron core fiber specification although they are compatible with the older style of 62.5 micron core fiber (FDDI grade or OM1)
