Hi Alex,

You will be able to get an MT-RJ-to-MT-RJ cable but then it is still not going to work.

The 2950C has 100FX-ports (FastEhernet) and the 2950SX has 1000SX ports (Gigabit).

The two ports are incompatible, they will not negotiate the link speed.

There will simply be no connection.

Probably not the answer you had hoped for. Sorry for that.

regards,

Leo

Thank you

No it's always good to know what can and can't be done.

I hate it when people tell you something that is wrong.

Can move to backup plan of connecting them via a 2950g with

the right gbics.

Thank you
