Red Archon to KPF Main Switch | RED ARCHON | Multi-mode OM4 Fiber-optic Ethernet Cable LC Duplex to LC Duplex Connectors (x2) | 20 m | Digi-Key Marketplace | UNC Group Part#: Digit-Key Part#: | Note these fiber cables also require an ‘SFP’ adapter to be inserted into each Archon and two of the SFP ports on the KPF Main Switch. We tried generic SFP adapters at first but the Aruba 2530-24G switch would not recognize them. In the end we had to go with the (more expensive) Aruba/HPE adapter “Aruba 1G SFP LC SX 500m OM2 MMF Transceiver”, HPE Part# J4858D. |
