[AusNOG] Cisco GBIC - Mikrotik SFP Fibre Cable Information

[Nathan Brookfield]

Hi Daniel,

If you're connecting directly to the chassis with no patch panels, you just need an SC to LC cable which Equinix, NextDC etc have on hand to purchase at the facility for around $25.

Thanks Mate,
Nathan

Gday Guys

The linecard is a WS-X6408A-GBIC

And my Mikrotik is a CCR1009-8G-1S-1S+

Hope this helps narrow it all down :d

You will find that most Cisco coded optics will work fine as well, we've got a few Ausoptic SFP's doing CWDM in these devices and they work well.

If someone offers you a choice, choose singlemode fibre. Future-you or his successor will be thankful.
