On a related note, it IS possible to connect LX to SX GBIC/SFP in the Cisco world, but you have to have a mode conditioning patch cable to do so.

Yes they sell the cables that allow for this. You can even get generic ones from CDW if you want.

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.
