hi all

 

am considering the SNH-10G, and am new to fiber.

 

SOtM website says "You will need to use the converter and module for SFP connections with the sNH-10G, here you can use the single mode lc to lc duplex cables and these type of products...."

 

question: does it have to be a single mode type or can i use multimode transceivers and patch cable?

Hi Roasty,

 

maybe you’ve got yourself fixed up with SFPs etc but just to say I’m happily using multi mode TP Link gear with my SOtM switch. I didn’t see any specific guidance on the SOtM site about what format to use and there’s lot of discussion around about what’s best. I didn’t do any comparisons with single mode but the multi mode gear was cheap and easy for me to implement as a toe in the water.  For what it’s worth I’ve no regrets and there was a clear sound improvement. 
 

cheers and let us know how you get on
