Cisco 2960 SFP <—> FMC setup

Yeah that should work very well. Before I had fiber to my house, I isolated my home network from my cable modem this way. 

 

Hmmm not the “uplink input” per se (I have Brocade switches not Cisco) but that should work.

I suspect your FMC isn’t compatible. I recommend the ones that have an SFP port, but looks like you are trying to mix single and multi mode

Thanks for the direction. Is there a FMC/SFP that you recommend?

 

The SFP module you have should be great, and you can get something like the Trendnet https://www.amazon.com/TRENDnet-1000Base-T-Media-Converter-TFC-1000MGA/dp/B0062K68D0 as well as a LC-LC multimode cable. There is no advantage for singlemode for what you are doing. The "Optical Network Configurations" thread has more details -- I haven't used FMCs in a few years but that info should be good., http://fs.com is a reliable vendor and the SFP you linked to is standard.

 

I haven't used but also consider an FMC from fs.com: https://www.amazon.com/TRENDnet-1000Base-T-Media-Converter-TFC-1000MGA/dp/B0062K68D0

 

Should work
