Connect 2 Prosafe GS748TPS over 150m
Hi, I'm trying to determine the best way to connect 2 Prosafe GS748TPS over a distance of around 150m or so. I've determined over some of the posts here already that I need to get a couple ...
Hi DaneA
I had a quick follow up question, I'm not sure if you'd be able to advise. I tested the stacking using a direct connection between the 2 switches and it worked a treat. We've since have 180m of fibre cable run between the two buildings, with connected via a patch panel each end, and running a cable to each of the switches, but am not getting any signal at all coming through.
I've checked the switches locally and they are both configured and showing the 2nd switch with no connection to it, is there something else that needs to be done when you introduce a patch panel into the mix?
Many thanks,
Nick
Just to verify, are you using SFP/SFP+ cable connected to a patch panel? Personally, I haven't yet tried using a patch panel with SFP/SFP+ cable/s connected to it. What I usually practice is that switches are connected directly using SFP/SFP+ cable/s.

Hi DaneA,
We are indeed, so it was:
Fibre Cable to SFP port > Patch Panel > 180m Fibre Optic Link > Patch Panel > Fibre Cable to SFP port
As it turns out the connections has been put in the wrong way round, a quick switch round, and it's working like a charm.
Thank you for you assistance, very much appreciated đ
