`How to understand in iterface what type of sfp is plugged? How you make difference with Multimode and Single mode?

I use these commands:
show inventory
show interface status
show interface <interface name>

For example:
show interface status
Gi0/24 connected trunk a-full a-1000 1000BaseLX SFP


show inventory

Maybe LX is mean the type of sfp module?

LX is for what type of sfp? Single mode?

SX is for Multimode?

Hi,

You are correct. SX SFPs are required for transmission over multi-mode fiber, and LX are used for single mode.

From where come SX and LX?
SX- Short Distance (Multi-mode)
LX - Long Distance (Single Mode
