Connecting two HP switches by fiber cable, 50/125 or 62.5/125?

Hi,



I have got 4000M switches each with a J4113A module (Gigabit SX, multimode). They are around 100-200m apart. I need to connect them together. Which is the best cable? 50/125 or 62.5/125? I am in US for that matters.


To make the fiber cable work like a "crossover" cable, do I just flip the two SC connectores of the duplex cable at one end so switch 1's in goes to switch 2's out, and switch 1's out goes to switch 2's in?


Thanks



There is no difference for that application ( 1 Gbps and 200 m). Take the cheapest. Yes to the other question. Arnie
