connecting 2 FS728TP via sfp port
Hi, im trying to connect two FS728TP switches (located in different offices that are q50 feet apart) via the SFP connecters. They are strung together with multimode fibre cable but I cant seem to get...
Fixed it!
Aparently my hunch was right and the fault was with the fiber cable. The engineer had plugged the sedning fiber core on the back of the patch panel into the same port on the opposite end instead of the receiving connector. As soon as he flipped it over the sfp module came to life and voip traffic started flowing.
Happy days :)

Hi L0g1t3ch,
Glad to know it is working! The SFP ports are mostly plug-and-play so hardware is the first one to look at, we'll have to make sure that the modules and the fibre cables are working okay.
Wishing success to your expansion.
Thanks,
