Requesting help selecting transceivers

2 replies
1312 views

We just placed an order for 10 of the FS-148E-POE switches. We want to connect the switches together using SFP connectors and fiber patch cables. My problem is selecting the correct SFP transceiver and the correct MM fiber patch cable. I AM waiting for Fortigate pre-sales support to reply, but I thought I'd post here in the even that someone may have some expertise on that.

So, ten FS-148E-POE and I need to know the right SFP transceiver and MM fiber patch cables to connect all of these switches together.

Thank you

148E (PoE) has 1G SFP.

You can use FN-TRAN-SX or FR-TRAN-SX.
As cable you can use any LC to LC MM patch cable starting from OM3.
