Connecting 10G-LR and 10G-LRM

[g.schacher]

Hello,

I want connect C3750E and C3850. The distance is about 1,5 metres. I have a X2-10GB-LR-Module and a SFP-10GB-LRM and MCPs too. The wavelength is the same -1310nm. But I think, the transmit power is different.
Is this possible?

The -LRM transceiver is actually constructed using multiple lasers, so it cannot be connected to a link with an -LR transceiver.  You will need 2 -LR or 2 -LRM transceivers.

Another problem here is that you can't connect X2 with SFP+ modules.

The style of the optical transceiver is not critical because a hybrid jumper cable can be used to transition from SC to LC connector styles.  More important is to make sure the two transceivers match protocol and reach standards (SX , LX, etc.).
