Use different brands at both ends of the optical module
Q: Can two optical modules from different brands/suppliers be connected to each other? A: If the wavelength, speed, and fiber type of the module are the same and operate normally on the original switch, two different brands of optical modules can be interconnected. In a fiber link, the data is transmitted from one end to another, and fiber transceivers are. When it comes to the connection between two optical modules, the following four factors should be considered: wavelength, speed, fiber type, and connection to the switch. Hello experts, I have very little knowledge about optical cable connection ports, adapters and transceivers etc. I would like to replace our existing Allied Telesis AT-x900XS core switch with a new Cisco Catalyst 4900M (not yet purchased).

The optical module s transmission distance is much farther than the actual distance
The transmission distance of optical modules is primarily constrained by two factors: signal loss and dispersion. Optical modules can be broadly categorized into two types based on the wavelength of light they utilize: gray optical modules and colored optical modules. Gray optical modules typically operate in the range of 850. Optical modules are distinct from one another in their transmission distance, a feature that should be taken into account in addition to other specifications like data rate when selecting fiber optic transceivers. Among them, long-distance optical modules refer to optical modules with a transmission. The transmission distance of optical transceiver can be divided into short, medium and long distance, and the transmission distance of 2km and below is generally considered as short distance, the transmission distance between 10~20km is medium distance, and the transmission distance above 30km is. The working wavelength of the optical module is a range, and the unit is nanometer (nm).
