I think they are, but again I'm not 100 percent sure. I can get the pair of 20k SFP modules for under $30 shipped. At that price I would just replace both sides of anything that is under question.

Specifically talking SM fiber. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigabit_Ethernet#1000BASE-LX says LX-10 is good for 10km whereas LX can only do 5km. I get that LX-10 has twice the range due to "better optics", but at distances of less than 5km are they compatible / interchangeable? All specs I can find match up implying they are but I can't specifically find word on compatibility. Is it just me or has Google become nothing more than a shopping mall? It is getting much hard to find information other than prices. </rantoff> PC Blaze Broadband
