Discussion of Cisco Catalyst 2960 series switches and miscellaneous chatter about SFP modules (started with OT posts from EtherREGEN thread)

@soares : the SFP port of the Cisco is gigabit so should work with a gigabit SFP port of a TP Link, as long as compatible transceivers are used. I have the SFP port of the Cisco connected to the gigabit SFP port of a TP Link MC 220.

 

The 8 regular ethernet ports of the Cisco are 10/100. To be complete there is also one gigabit ethernet port next to the SFP port.

@soares : I'm not an SFP specialist, but if I look at the specs of the TP Link MC200M it doesn't seem to accept 1310nm and is only compatible with 850nm, whereas the MC220L is compatible with both. My best guess is that's where the problem is.

I don't even know the meaning of nm... 🙂

But thanks . Will probably get one used for the try. 

Do yo know by heart the references of your SPF transceivers?  

Best , Jorge

 

 

Hi @soares, I kindly refer to my post #16 in the Q&A topic elsewhere on this forum (see link below). For your situation I would either buy different transceivers and a different cable to work with the MC200L, or indeed buy a MC220, whatever is cheapest.
