Hello,

Will a fiber optic module on a switch utilizing a 1310nm wavelength be
able to communicate with a fiber optic module on another switch
utilizing a 1300nm wavelength?

Thanks

Both wavelengths are probably "nominal" and will have a tolerance of
+/-10 or +/-20 nm. In that respect the answer could be yes.
Important is however the fact whether these are multimode (MM) or
singlemode (SM) systems. Normally 1310 is used as a wavelength for SM
systems and 1300 nm as a wavelength for MM systems. This has to be
checked!
