X2-10G-LR reuse on short distance?

[CSCO10235163]

Hi all,

I need to implement VSS on 6500 equipped with Sup720-10GE and WS-X6704; considering that this last 10G card doesn't support VSL, I need to realize VSS interchassis connections on Supervisor 10G interfaces, but I only have X2-10G-LR. Considering that the 2 6500 are in short distance (few meters): is it possible to use 10G long range optics and, if yes, do I need some additional patch?

Thanks

Hello,

i think there is no minimum distance for LR, so you should be able to use for short distance over single mode fibers
