Sorry, I cant found info for cisco switch 3870. Also the Cisco 2950 series have many models. This one may accept fiber.

I have a Cisco switch 3870 on one end (point A) and Cisco 2950 on the other end (point B) are these switches compatible, meaning i dont need a converter? if so,what kind of cable do i need from fiber box to switch?
