My switch is showing major signs of death, ports have stopped working and gone into error mode, etc.
so i am starting to look for a new (to me) one. Currently i have a Cisco 2970g which is 24 ports at 1gb
I can not afford a full 10gb switch so i have to stay with 1gb for the time. however i want to add 10gb to my server which is in the same rack as my network devices.
i am looking at a CISCO WS-C3560E-48TD-S which has two 10 GB up link expansion ports on ebay for about $120
CISCO WS-C3560E-48TD-S
( i know this is out of stock but i can find others)
so i need to add fiber modules (because 10gb copper modules are too pricey still)
so i was thinking these, but dont know if they will work
(EDIT)
I Talked to a person at work who does fiber and he said you sould get LRM or SC fiber
PCIe Card
Cable
SC
SFP
X2 Module for switch
LRM (better)
SFP
X2 Module for switch
thx
