Hi Team,

Please help any fiber to ethernet converter which is recommended for cisco switches.

Hello @ahmad.syed,

Could you more elaborate?

SM or MM Fiber?

Hi @ahmad.syed 

Is it not possible to use an SFP on the device instead?

Hi

 I dont believe there will be recommendation because from the switch perspective either you are using a fiber or a ethernet cable. The switch is not aware of the converter.

  The only requeriment is that you use the proper ethernet cable/SFP  on the switch side or proper fiber SFP , depends on what you are going to connect to the switch.

Hi all,

Thanks for your prompt reply. We are using end device which only support converter. We can not use ethernet cable from switch till end device due to some cabling constraint . We only have option to use fiber upto near user desk and then use converter to provide connectivity to end user. 

So, need your support if you have any device which is good from cisco switch perspective

Fibre optic to the desk?  

Is this a government/security/defence-related location?

@ahmad.syed,

choose the media converter according to your prerequisites (sigle/multimode fiber). It is a passive equipment, it will adapt to your network equipment.
