Can I use dark fiber between Cisco MDS and Storage.

Mahmoud Marie

Hello 

We have two of Cisco C9148S MDS san switch connected to EMC unity storage with multimode connection (DS-SFP-FC16G-SW) & (Avago 16Gb SFP+ SW).

as we need to relocate it, can I connect one of the MDS with the storage with single-mode dark fiber (DS-SFP-FC16G-LW) &(Avago 16Gb SFP+ LW)?

Appreciate your help

Thanks

        - If both ends are using compatible single-mode fiber SFP's , then that should work , 
  ==> (edited/added). Since we are talking about dark fiber here  ; consider it mandatory to have a test on it first before connecting it to the production equipment
