We have an older Cisco Catalyst 3550 fiber switch (WS-C3550-24-FX) and we are trying to get some compatible fiber-ether converters to use at the remote end of a few fiber runs. The first fiber converters we purchased don't seem to communicate properly with the switch. Both ends get a link light and the switch says the line and protocol are up but data does not seem to transmit (the counters indicate packets going out but nothing coming in to the switch). We have had the fiber strands themselves tested thoroughly so it isn't an issue with the fiber. The converters are 800nm wavelength so I'm wondering if maybe the switch ports use a different wavelength. I have tried looking this up but I can't find anything on Cisco's website about it. Anyone know where I could find such info?
