Do you already have wiring between the switch locations? If so, that will determine the transceiver you use.
Multi-Mode (Orange cables): J4858C Single-Mode (Yellow cables): J4859C You can use Multi-mode in the 4859C, but it's simpler to keep LX and SX cables and transceivers separate, and MM is cheaper anyways. If you don't have wiring between the locations, I'd probably go with the J4859C on Single-Mode cable unless you're price-sensitive. The LH is long-haul, and is only really for connections in the multi-km range. Depending on your structural wiring, you may need jumpers or the connection cable itself. The HP switches take LC ends.

You don't want those) --Ted On 4/26/2013 12:02 PM, Chuong Dao wrote: > I am very new with fiber and I need help selecting transceivers for the > HP 2910AL-48G.
