Minimum Fiber Patch Cable Length for MGBSX1

[howardsimons]

I want to "stack" a couple 300 series gigabit switches with fiber using a pair of MGBSX1 GBICs and a single LC to LC patch cable.

Is there a minimum supported patch cable length in this configuration?

Howard,

Thank you for posting. You should have no issues using a short fiber patch between the switches. Just make sure the fiber doesn't bend too sharply and get damaged.

Hi mpyhala,

Thanks for your response.  I picked up a 1 meter aqua cable and it appears to be working fine.
