Usually, there are thousands of switches in a large data center. When connecting switches, sometimes different brands of switches are connected. So, can different brands of switches and optical modules be interconnected? The answer is yes, but you need to meet the following conditions to interconnect.

1. The specifications and parameters of optical modules of switches on both sides must be consistent. Such as: speed, wavelength, transmission distance, single fiber / dual fiber should be consistent;

2. Different brands of switches need to plug in the same compatible optical module to realize interconnection. For example, if Cisco switches are interconnected with Huawei switches, Huawei switches need to be plugged into Huawei compatible optical modules, and Cisco switches need to be plugged into Cisco compatible optical modules. (ETU-LINK’s optical module can be widely compatible with various brands of switch equipment)

3. Optical modules with the same Ethernet protocol should be used at both ends of the link, and the type of optical fiber used must be consistent.

The above summarizes the experience of interconnection of different brands of switches through compatible optical modules. As a professional optical transceiver manufacturer, ETU-LINK’s optical module can be compatible with various brand equipment and has strong stability. Thank you for your support!
