GBIC Modules compatibility

Hello everyone,
I got a network with Siemens Scalance XR300M switches, and I got to do an optical connection to a Catalyst 3750 (3750G-24TS-1U).
The Siemens has a Gigabit Interface with SC Ports over SMF@1310nm (10 km module).
Which GBIC module should I use to connect both of them?
I looked at cisco.com and I saw only one SFP@1310 GBIC module (GLC-EX-SMD). But it is for longer distances!! (I suppose that a SMF@1300nm module will not be compatible with the SMF@1310nm in the Siemens Switch, right?)
Thanks in advance for your help!
Best regards,
Fabio

viyuan700 is correct is what he says.
The  Cisco GLC-LH-SM transceiver will interface  with your Siemen's Gigabit Ethernet 10km SMF interface. The actual IEEE  802.3 spec for Gigabit Ethernet 1000BASE-LX outlines a transmit and receive wavelength range of 1270 to 1355 nm;  which covers both 1300 and 1310nm. Look at Section 38.4 - PMD to MDI  optical specifications for 1000BASE-LX for the specifications. 
The  data sheet posted on Cisco's website (link below) indicates the  GLC-LH-SM= is 1310nm.

Sometimes  vendors used 1300nm as a designation for MMF interface and 1310nm for  SMF.  Probably a reason but I don't know why.
I  hope this helps!  Let us know if you have any other questions.

  • WS-X4306-GB - Catalyst 4500 6-port GBIC Module & FC Tape Libraries

    WS-X4306-GB - Catalyst 4500 6-port GBIC Module & FC Tape Libraries
    I have several Tape Autoloader Libraries from Dell which have Fibre Channel interfaces. I have loop switches that these connect to today. I also have a Catalyst 4506 with a WS-X4306-GB - 6-port GBIC Module. I would like to use the X4306 as a loop switch. Some of the libraries can also connect via point-to-point FC.
    Can this be done? If yes, how do I start in making this happen?
    Thank You.

    Sorry but the Catalyst 4500 does not support Fibre Channel connections on the WS-X4306-GB (or on any card). It's strictly an Ethernet switch. Reference
    To mix and match Ethernet and FC interfaces, you'd have to be on a new platform like the Nexus 5k series - specifically the UP (Unified Port) variants.

  • Gbic module for SGE2000

    Hello, I need to know which gbic modules are compatible SGE2000P SGE2000 and if I can connect those with a switch that has a module SRW2008P with MGBSX1.

    I found an old Linksys manual (attached) for the SGE2000/200P switches.  The SFPs that the system supports are as follows:
    "Use the Linksys MGBT1, MGBSX1, or MGBLH1 mini-GBIC modules
    with the Switch. The MGBSX1 and the MGBLH1 require fiber cabling
    with LC connectors, while the MGBT1 requires a Category 5e Ethernet
    cable with an RJ-45 connector."
    Shouldn't be any problem connecting the two switches via MGBSX1 interfaces.
    Hope this helps!

  • SRW2024 Mini-GBIC modules

    I have a number of SRW2024 switches and several Mini-GBIC modules for them. Are these switches compatible with other brands of Mini-GBIC modules or do I need to use the Linksys modules (MGBSX1) only? Thanks!

    LouisWu,  did you find out if any of your other SFPs worked in the Linksys switch?
    do you get any error messages when you insert a 3rd party SFP?

  • 10Gig - GBIC module, can we connect?

    Hi,
    I have a PIX 535 firewall which has GBIC module and I need to connect to a Switch 2360 / 2960  which has 10 Gig SFP.
    Can I connect using multimode fiber.   Will it work?
    Or is there any Speed configuration we can do to reduce 10 Gig to 1 Gig in the switch side?
    Thanks & REgards,
    Lenin. S

    Hi I beleive the PIX interface is fixed at 1GigE and with a 10GE SFP in the switch this configuration won't work, you need to ensure the devices are matched for the same speed and media type Multi Mode (MM) or Single Mode (SM).
    I beleive the PIX GE interface is MM so you will need to install an MM 1GE SFP into the switch don't forget that you will also need a GigE Failover Link if you are using PIX Failover.

  • Optical Fiber connection between GBIC module and SFP module

    Hi
    I am in need of help.
    I have a 3750 24TS-S, 2 port SFP, switch at the edge. And i have a 4507R switch at the Distribution layer. In 4507 switch I have WS-X4515 Sup IV supervisor engine with 2 GBIC Port and also have WS-4306-GB 6 port GBIC module. I am using WS-G5486 Single mode connector, LX/LH tranceiver to connect to this port.
    This is the scenario.. i want to know is it posible to conect one end of the fiber cable to connect to a SFP Module ( 3750-24TS-S, 2 Port SFP) and other end ( WS-X4515 Sup IV supervisor engine with 2 GBIC Port or WS-4306-GB 6 port GBIC module) at the WS-G5486 Single mode LX/LH connector ?????
    Plz let me now asap.. i need to give a solution imdtly.
    Thanks & regards

    Discussion is never a problem ....;-}
    The issue is that the signal is "too loud" and is distorted (or, more correctly, is so loud it overloads the receiver).
    The operational envelope for nearly every receiver of any kind includes a bottom number (too weak to hear) and a top number (too loud to understand).
    As an example, think about an system where you have a hearing aid that would let you hear someone speaking in a normal voice from 100 feet away ... then having someone scream the same words into the hearing aid from 6 inches away ... the sound would be distorted and you would have difficulty understanding them ... after a while, you'd begein to go deaf and eventually, it would sound normal (until you became completely deaf).
    So, what you need to do is look at the transmitter power, and the envelope/range of acceptable power the receiver can hear.
    Normally that difference is the optical budget ... given the loss numbers of the media between the two, you can determine if you have enough power to make the trip.
    In a Lab environment, you still have to hit the receiver's budget number, but from the other end (the "too high" side).
    If you know the transmitter puts out X, and the receiver can accept from Y to (X-50), then you need to add enough attenuation to get X down to (X-50)or lower (but still more than Y).
    When you have a transmitter powerful enough to drive tens of kilometers, putting one two meters away from the receiver will pretty much guarantee a burnout (unless you install optical attenuation).
    Good Luck

  • 2811 service module compatability

    Hi,
    Will a Cisco NM-2FE2W Network Module work in a 2811 router and if so what are the commands to set it up? I know how to setup T1 controllers but is this the same or similar or what? (presuming the module will work?)
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    The 2811 does not support NM-2FE2W module.  See table-3 in this link:

  • Enquiry on HP Fiber Transciever Module Compatibility.

    I have a Cisco switch 2960-s PoE installed.
    I was wondering if the HP Fiber module #AJ718A   ( http://h30094.www3.hp.com/product/sku/3790470 ) is compatible with it.
    if it is compatible, is there much difference between it and the cisco GLC-SX-MM ?
    thank you

    I was wondering if the HP Fiber module #AJ718A   ( http://h30094.www3.hp.com/product/sku/3790470 ) is compatible with it.
    No it won't.  You insert this SFP into a Cisco 2960S and the port will go into "err-disable" until you remove it.
    is there much difference between it and the cisco GLC-SX-MM ?
    Not much difference.  There are only a few SFP manufacturers that supply components to bigger manufacturers like HP and Cisco.  The difference is that Cisco has inserted an algo into the Cisco-branded SFP's IDPROM.  The appliance will interrogate the component and if the hash values extracted from the IDPROM don't match, then the port goes into "err-disable".

  • C series module compatibility with 9103 Chassis

    Hi All,
    I have a 9004 cRIO controller and a 9103 cRIO Chassis.
    I want to use a 9239 or 9229 and a 9225 module for developing my application.
    Can anyone tell whether these modules are compatible with my existing Controller and Chassis.
    Regards,
    Cooldude 

    Those modules are all compoatible with your hardware.  The more important question is if they are compatible with the version of LV and NI-RIO you are using.  I believe those modules all work with LV 8.5.1, NI-RIO 2.4.0, and any version later than that.

  • X-Fi I/O module compatibility

    I'm thinking of upgrading my X-fi platinum Fatalty champion series (witch has the X-Fi I/O module) and I wonder if that module is compatible with the X-fi titanium proffesional series, or do I have to buy the champion series with theX-Fi I/O module?

    In addition, the I/O module of the Elite Pro does not work with Windows 7. So it would be useless for you to buy it. Creative seems unable or unwilling to deli'ver proper dirvers for this high end sound card.
    Under Windows 7 this high end sound card is not a champion, it's performance is comparable to a 30 $ sound card. Do not waste your money.

  • Mixed 3750G and 3850-X stack and Netfow module compatibility

    Anyone doing this?
    I can seem to find any documentation regarding a mixed stack AND a netflow module.
    If you have a pure 3750-X stack you can run the module in any switch - it doesn't need to be the master.  But what if half the switches are 3750's and half are 3750-X's?  
    Can it still read the flows of the older 3750's?

    Just wanted to mention when you mix original StackWise with StackWisePlus, StackWisePlus falls back to StackWise mode.  I.e. you lose some of the "Plus" features.

  • CWDM SFP Gbic modules

    Can I use a pair of the CWDM SFP Gbics between two cat 3550s for a basic CWDM point to point back bone segment. Other than the size what is the difference between the SFP gbics and the regular size? Why is the price cheaper for the SFP gbics?
    Thanks..

    You can use a pair of CWDM GBICs between two Cat3550 switches, but you cannot use a pair of CWDM SFP optical transceivers. The 3550s take GBICs only. (The SFPs fit Cat3750 switches.) Just be sure to match up the wavelengths at each end, and have at least 12dB of in-line attenuation between the GBICs to avoid overloading the receive optics.
    Generally speaking, size, connector type (SC versus LC) and electrical interface of the optical transceivers are the only differences between GBICs and SFPs. Cisco's list prices are the same whether GBIC or SFP, for SX (US$500), LX/LH (US$995), and ZX (US$3,995) varieties.
    I don't have pricing information handy on the CWDM versions, but I would expect them to cost the same for a given wavelength/color whether GBIC or SFP. I would also expect the CWDM ones to cost a little more than the ZX models because they have to be more precise with respect to their transmit and receive optics, since they're operating at discrete wavelengths within the 1550nm region (1470-1610nm).
    Hope this helps.

  • SCXI different Modules Compatability

    I am using a SXCI 1000 (4-slot) chassis with one SCXI-1100 module and 3 SCXI-1102 modules. I want to know if I can multiplex a SCXI-1100 moudule with a SCXI-1102 module to one pulg in DAQ board and the other two SCXI-1102 modules into another plug in DAQ board, eventhough all moudles are housed in the same chassis.

    Dunty,
    Please refer to the following Knowledge Base article for more information.
    Can I Use SCXI Modules in Parallel Mode and Multiplexed Mode in the Same Chassis?
    http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/C94797073B74E51E86256A93005CABFF?OpenDocument
    In your situation you are asking to run all four modules in multiplexed mode with two of them being the controlers. Therefore you will have two groups and this is not possible. If you decide to multiplex the SCXI-1100 module with a SCXI-1102 module to one DAQ board then you will have two modules left over. You could set both remaining SCXI-1102 modules to parallel mode or you could set one to parallel mode and multiplex the last module with the first SCXI-1100 and 1102.
