Something like this. &nbsp;You can contact CDW for the proper SFP (mini-GBIC) transceiver module. &nbsp;Proline is less expensive than Cisco modules.<br />

So I would get 2X of these transceiver module and plug directly from the patch panel to the switch?

At 200 meters you should be fine with multi-mode fiber with Gig or 10 Gig<br />
<br />

<br />
The equipment used for communications over multi-mode optical fiber is less expensive than that for single-mode optical fiber. Typical transmission speed and distance limits are 100 Mbit/s for distances up to 2 km (100BASE-FX), 1 Gbit/s up to 1000 m, and 10 Gbit/s up to 550 m.

I got Cisco SG300 POE switch which is currently going from one office to another office via fiber media converter. These switches have mini GBIC. The distance between these offices is 200 meters. Basically SW1 connects to fiber media converter and then goes to a patch panel and then to SW2. If we want to bypass the fiber media converter what would be the best way and also what kind of cables would I use?

Cisco PIX is a dedicated hardware firewall appliance; the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) is a firewall and anti-malware security appliance that provides unified threat management and protection the PIX does not. Other Cisco devices and systems include routers, switches, storage networking, wireless and the software and hardware for PIX Firewall Manager (PFM), PIX Device Manager (PDM) and Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM).

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
