Sibbi,
No errors on the second interface with LX optic:

GigabitEthernet0/2 is up, line protocol is up
  Hardware is BCM1250 Internal MAC, address is 0006.52f4.d81a (bia
0006.52f4.d81a)
  MTU 1500 bytes, BW 1000000 Kbit/sec, DLY 10 usec,
     reliability 255/255, txload 2/255, rxload 1/255
  Encapsulation 802.1Q Virtual LAN, Vlan ID  1., loopback not set
  Keepalive set (10 sec)
  Full-duplex, 1000Mb/s, link type is autonegotiation, media type is LX
  output flow-control is XON, input flow-control is XON
  ARP type: ARPA, ARP Timeout 04:00:00
  Last input 00:00:00, output 00:00:00, output hang never
  Last clearing of "show interface" counters never
  Input queue: 0/75/1018/467 (size/max/drops/flushes); Total output drops: 0
  Queueing strategy: fifo
  Output queue: 0/40 (size/max)
  5 minute input rate 6692000 bits/sec, 1543 packets/sec
  5 minute output rate 8629000 bits/sec, 2402 packets/sec
     240944267 packets input, 764868435 bytes, 20 no buffer
     Received 665 broadcasts, 0 runts, 0 giants, 0 throttles
     0 input errors, 0 CRC, 0 frame, 0 overrun, 0 ignored
     0 watchdog, 8 multicast, 0 pause input
     0 input packets with dribble condition detected
     307328333 packets output, 3150334452 bytes, 0 underruns
     5 output errors, 0 collisions, 4 interface resets
     0 unknown protocol drops
     0 babbles, 0 late collision, 0 deferred
     5 lost carrier, 0 no carrier, 0 pause output
     0 output buffer failures, 0 output buffers swapped out

It is a good time to start with a layer-1 diagnostic and change the optics.
