Catalyst 2960-XR Switch Optical cables

[aaron_atencio]

I am trying to figure out the correct optical cables to use for my switch. The old one was using the GLC-SX-MM connectors and optical cable 62.5/125 MM-2.0x 4.1 OFNR. Not sure if these would work for the new one or not. Any suggestions on how to figure this out?

Catalyst 2960-XR is the new switch. That matrix sort of helped I am just trying to figure out what optical cables to use with this switch

Can you use same cable as before, if the device in same location and same place with same Optic.

The cable depends on the transceiver - not the switch per se.

If you're continuing to use GLC-SX-MM transceivers then the same optical patch cables will work.

While we generally prefer 50 micron vs. 62.5 micron multimode fiber, if the entire end to end path isn't 50 micron it's a moot point.

As far as the connectors, most 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps transceivers use LC type. Again, specify your transceiver and the connector type can be confirmed.
