Folks,
A few days ago, someone mentioned that there might be an issue when you
try to connect cisco and noncisco switches together via GBIC. Can anyone
verify this, and give some details? I'm expecting to connect some HP
ProCurve switches and Catalysts together via gig over fiber real soon now,
I guess one thing to remember is that Multimode uses a LED as a light source
and Singlemode uses a Laser.
Since the laser provides a more focused and coherent pulse of light it can
travel through fibre over longer distances.
The multimode cable also has a larger core and does not require as high
ly recommend it.

Andrew,
I will suggest you to read page 87-91 of second chapter of a book (computer
Networks By Andrew S. Tanenbaum)
However you can diff. it by
1-you know light signal in fiber propagate in terms of total internal reflection
of light. In fiber , different rays will be bouncing at diff angles ,eac
Ben,
Not sure about the Cisco to HP compatability issue, But you are pretty
correct on the Mode-Conditioning fiber.
They offset the singlemode fiber from the center of the multimode fiber to
transmit the signal. Remember you will need a mode-conditioning fiber patch
cord on each end. Also you ne
