GLC-LH-SMD= vs =GLC-SX-SMD=
I'm curious ....
GLC-LH-SMD= vs =GLC-SX-SMD= are Cisco SFPs. Long haul vs short haul.
Would having LH on one side and SX on the other work if the fiber between them was multimode (OM1, OM2, or OM3)?
LH are dual compatible (mode conditioners needed in some cases).

AFAIK, as long as wavelengths match on both sides, it should work.

What do you mean? Like having the same fiber type ran through?

They list SX as 850, and 1310 as LH/LX.

Also using LH for short distances might provide too much light on the receiving end disabling it from seeing the signal. (Compare it to looking directly into the sun).
