Hello there, i am trying to simulate a connection of two routers cisco 2911 routers in packet tracer with optical fiber however i get an error message, " The cable cannot be connected to that port" , what could be the problem or procedure on using optical fiber connection between routers. Also when i add modules: HWIC-1GE-SFP on the 2911, they do not appear on the list of interfaces on the router. Help or hints will be appreciated on using fiber optics connection for routers.

Hello @Flavio Miranda thank you for your quick response,
I have found a solution, i managed to connect the two 2911 routers after adding modules HWIC-1GE-SFP and GLC-LH-SMD combined and i was able to connect. See image attached.fibre connection 2911 Packet tracer

Hi
This router does not support fiber. Use an ISR4331 with module GLC-GE-100FX.
