Can single mode and multi mode transceivers be used in switch simultaneously?

I am using an M4300-96X (XSM4396K0-10000S) switch frame with APM408F-10000S SFP+ cards.  They are being used for SDVoE in an environment that has both OM3 multi mode fiber (signal source to switch) AND single mode fiber (switch to destination).  I wanted to know if, using the appropriate transcievers (AXM761 for OM3 and AXM762 for SM), both fiber types can be used in the switch simultaneously.

 

Apologies if this has been answered already.  I couldn;t find anything via search.

    Hi dwplive

     

    Congratulations for using our brand new M4300-96X for SDVoE deployment!

     

    Yes, of course you can mix and match any Multimode and Single Mode SFP+ transceivers in same APM408F (8xSFP+) port card - the switch will detect them accordingly in each port.

     

    I hope this helps -
