2950c Fiber uplink - connecting 2 devices? 1

[vaxman9]

Greetings all,

I do not have much experience with CISCO switches, so please excuse any fumbling during this post.

I have 5 2950c switches, 4 that will be spread around a large facility. There are fiber runs from the equipment closet to the different areas of the facility.

I am trying to connect 2 of my 2950c for testing purposes. One in the equipment closet and the other in one of the 4 areas in the facility.

I have MT-RJ to SC multi mode patch cables. When I connect the two units to the fiber, I am not getting any link light on the FX (fiber) port. Do I need a crossover cable for this configuration or do I need to configure the FX port for uplink on one of the devices?

I hope this make sense and thanks in advance for any suggestions.

have you tried reversing the send receive pair on one side of the connection.
