fibre optic explanation needed
Hi im totally new to fibre and wonder if someone could explain some things for me.
We have had a fibre optic link put in between two comms cabinets, the fibre is between 2 patch panels inside the patch panels are 4 strands of fibre red green blue and clear, these lead to individual st type sockets. At the end i need to get running i have a 3com 4400 switch 24 port with a gigabit fibre module fitted. this is connected to the patch panel via a MT-RJ to ST cable this only covers 2 of the said fibre strands. How do i connect all this up so i get activity because the switch shows that the module is ok but cannot detect any activity. Do i need another module? 3com said this is the switch i need so i assume that is right.
Please help
