How can i connect between WS−G5484 1000BASE−SX and GLC-LH-SMD ?

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.
