The only difference is the form factor. You get higher density with SFP (mini-GBIC) than you do with a standard GBIC.
We had Catalyst 3524 with a GBIC connected to a 3560 with an SFP, no problem. You should be fine as long as both were rated the same for either short or long haul (SX or LX). You would just have to have an SC to LC fiber jumper between the two. Jonathan L.

Been a while since I purchased Cisco equipment (almost 10 years!). My question is on the SFP modules. If I have a GBIC on one switch, I cannot have a SFP module on the other end? If I read this right, two different ends on the cable(beige and grey)? I have a Cisco rep.. if he is still around.
