Need to know which SFP module series is compatable - I had to get separate modules for Netgear vs Cisco - but they looked the same to me...

Errr, it occurs this isn't correct - SFP is SFP - the main thing is to select the connector type & nm rating matched to cable. LC-LC seems most common, not sure as far as nm ratings go. But this is probably where we go OT from the switch discussion. FWIW I use the 850nm, but I've heard 1310 is better in some applications....

Basically:

- 850 nm Single Mode Fiber and associated SFPs for distances less than 500m

- 1310nm Multimode Fiber and associated SFPs for distances up to 10Km

 

SFPs termination are LC -> LC_LC fiber termination.

In industry there is no 'audiophile' kind of fibers (useless)

 

You mean "normally"?  ?
