Fiber to ethernet 100mb

Asked by HiloTech in Optical Networking, Miscellaneous Networking, Windows NT Networking

Tags: optical networking

I am trying to hookup 2 100mb switches across a fiber optic cable.  I have a 12 strand cable that is certified for 850 and 1300 wavelength.  The cable is 493 meters long.  Currently I have 4 of the strands working with GBIC modules in Cisco routers.  I want a stand alone network using 2 of the available strands.  What do I need.  I thought I could use 2 multimode media converters but can't seem to get a link across the 12 strand cable.  They do work if I use a coupler and just the patch cables.  Cost is a factor and this is just a connection for some time clocks to sync with a server.  Thanks
