no. 100bfx - 100bfx, gb - gb, only.

Hi thks for replying. Do u know the reason

Yes. Different wavelengths at work here.

100BASE-FX (Fast Ethernet over multimode fiber) uses 1310 nanometer (nm) to transmit and receive.

1000BASE-SX (Gigabit Ethernet over multimode fiber) uses 850 nm to transmit and receive.

100BASE-FX used is 1300 nms long waves, but not 1310 nms; Whether for 850nm in the wavelengths in 1000base-sx,so can't
