2950 GBIC Port

Feb 10, 2005 2 Replies

I have a Catalyst 2950G switch that is being feed by the GBIC port, I ran out of ports and need another switch. Can I put a SX GBIC module in the 1st and 2nd and use a 1 meter patch cord between them?



I thought there was an issue with needing some kind of attenuator cable since it was only 1 meter long.


between two switches, yes you can

Or use 1000BaseT (copper) gbics and a CAt5e UTP cable. Usually cheaper that fiber.
