Hi guys,

Need some advise.

I am looking to acquire some 24 port ethernet LAN switches that also 
have fibre connectors. The fibre connections are going to be long 
distance (apprx 5km ++) and single mode . I was looking at the cisco 
website, and think the Catalyst 3750 series might fit the need. The 
product data sheet says it supports the following connectors:

1000BASE-SX, -LX/LH, -ZX, and CWDM SFP-based ports: LC fiber connectors 
(single-
mode, or multimode fiber)

I believe we would need to order the switch toghether with these 
additional connectors? Am i right in this? Would this switch fit my 
basic needs for fibre connectivity? Thanks!

Nimal
