Dear experts,
My customer has 6509 A-side and B-side core switches and need to migrate only 6509 B-side to Nexus.
I have some question below.
1. Customer's 6509A-side has multiple WS−G5484 1000BASE−SX and WS−G5486 1000BASE−LX links and it is connected to 6509B-side.
But customer bought only GLC-LH-SMD for Nexus migration of 6509B-side.
I understood BLC-LH-SMD doesn't support SX type, so I am worndering how i can connect between 2 different module ?
Or should i have GLC-SX-MMD for WS−G5484 1000BASE−SX links ?
2. Current Rack has LC type patch pannel from B-side to Rack A side.
But new Nexus A-side rack is located at different row and between these rack, there is only sc-type patch pannel.
So If i want to connect from LC-type to Sc-type patch pannel, how can i connect ? do i have to use SC-LC converter ?
3. Old 6509 links use many MMF cable, and new Nexus use SMF.
Between same LX/LH links, if a side use MMF and another side use SMF, how can i connect each other ?
Again new Nexus A-side rack is located at different row and between these rack, there is only sc-type patch pannel.
Please let me know in detail, Thanks in advance, I really appreciate for your help.
Jason.

G5484 is compatible with GLC-SX-MMD, G5486 is compatible with GLC-LH-SMD and not vice versa.
