Gig Modules for 7206VXR - Pls help

[ameen.ahmed]

Hi Friends,

I've a 7206VXR (NPE-G1) router. I would like to purchase a PA-GE port adaptor where I've to use a GBIC connector.

1. Is it possible to have a connection between PA-GE and a 3560G switch (4 SFP ports) ? If yes, what type of cables & connectors are to be used?

2. Is there any GigabitEthernet port adaptors / modules for 7206vxr where I can connect RJ45 (cat 5) or SFP modules?

Can any of you please guide me?

Thanks in advance.

Ameen.

Hi Ameen,

To connect the 7200 PA-GE to a 3560G, you need an SC to LC fiber patch cord.  The SC connects to the 7200 and LC connects to the 3560G.  The patch cord can be MM or SM depending an your distance and the optic you have.

Thanks HTH,

You mean to say, we've to connect SC and LC connector at both ends of the patch code, righ? patch cord is same for both SC and LC connectors, am I correct? or is that an entirly different cord?

And, do we have GigabitEthernet port adaptors / modules for 7206vxr where I can connect RJ45 (cat 5) or SFP modules?

Thanks.

Yes, the patch cord will have SC on one side and LC on the other site.  Patch cords are usually pre-made and you order them with the correct connectors you need.

And, do we have GigabitEthernet port adaptors / modules for 7206vxr where I can connect RJ45 (cat 5) or SFP modules?

I did not see SFP or copper module in the data sheet.
