If you want to do this use SX modules.<br />
<br />
As for 1 up 1 down, use LACP between the two switches.

The switches are a dell powerconnect 2724 and 2848. &nbsp;I don't think traffic will be a problem. &nbsp;It's mostly internet and documents. &nbsp;As far as redundancy goes, we are using two pair of fiber but have 2 more pairs as backup...as well as a pair of cat6e in case the entire fiber strand gets cut (backup to the backup)<br />

Thanks to all for the input. &nbsp;It is greatly appreciated.

Going from switch to switch is about 300 feet. &nbsp;Is there any benefit to using a long wavelength SFP transceiver over a short wavelength? &nbsp;I plan to use 1 port in the switch for up and down instead of dedicated 1 for up and 1 for down.<br />

Short vs Long Wavelenght SFP Transceiver

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.

Networking Hardware-Other

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.

Switches / Hubs

Hardware includes cell phones and other digital living devices, tablets, computers, servers, peripherals and components, printers and scanners, gaming consoles, networking hardware such as routers, hubs, switches and modems, storage devices and security equipment such as firewalls and other appliances.
