wel.., i am now pondering about the "connector" options... i need to buy one from online/local store... and fast... the objective is to connect a 3500xl with 3750.. using the fiber connectors...
i have narrowed my choice into *Cisco LC To SC Multimode SX Fiber Cable, 10 M, CSS5-CABSX-LCSC <http://www.cablesandkits.com/cisco-multimode-fiber-cable-css5cabsxlcsc-p-2634.html> and Cisco LC-SC Singlemode Duplex Fiber Patch Cable, 5M* i donno the diff between them... but i think i must choose... the first one(its more expensive)... i really dont know.... joel.
