SFP transceiver comparability

[tinhnho123]

Hello Guys,

I have a 2960S model which connected to my core 4500 series. If I wanted to use fiber to conect between 2960S and 4500, are these component are right for me?

SFP transceiver

Multimode LC/LC Duplex Fiber Optic cable 62.5/125

Both my switches already have the SFP modules.

Thanks.

Hi,

Be careful, because not all SFPs work work Cisco switches. The actual Cisco part number for MM SFP is:

GLC-SX-MM

As far as the fiber patch cord.  62.5/125 is older unless the rest of you fiber plant is 62.5, I would use 50/125.

LC to LC is correct

The link that for SFP, they said it works with Cat 2960.

Will that SFP  transceiver work with both 62.5/125 and 50/125 ?

As long as it works with Cisco devices, you are fine.

and yes, the SFP will work with both 62.5/125 and 50/125.

I have sort of an issue also when it comes to SFP and the Transceiver.  I have a 9400 LAN switch, which I will be up linking onto a 6509.  The 6509 will have a X2-10GB-LX4 transceiver, however I do not know what will be comparable SFP is for that.  Multimode fiber.  Anyone care to enlighten me?
