Fiber Connections

[DGrom]

I am relatively new to this, but i have some questions.

I have a ATT Fiber Connection  that is SPF+ and LC.  Would this type of connector work?  It is 10G but i am a bit confused on the duplexing on it.   The connector in question:

I just want to make sure before i tell my company what to buy. Also does anyone here have any suggestions on good reading for Fiber cables?

Thanks,

Dan

What Meraki device and model do you have?

[DGrom]

Mx-95.  I got this off the product documentation.

[alemabrahao]

Check it out.

The MX95 has 2x dedicated 10Gb SFP+ ports for WAN, as well as 2x 10Gb SFP+ ports for LAN.

So yes, if ATT provides the same connectors it should definitely work.

To ensure compatibility with Meraki, you should probably stick to Meraki optics aswell, as @alemabrahao also references to.

I am sticking with Meraki as it just seems like a better idea for support.  The meraki still needs cards as they do not come with them correct?

[rhbirkelund]

What cards?

[alemabrahao]

What do you mean by cards?

I think @DGrom means transceivers, the SFP+ to LC converter.

[DGrom]

I do, Sorry.  I am just learning this. I mean transceivers.

I think you mean SFP/SFP+ - yes, you need to buy those as well.  They need to match the same type as what AT&T are using, for example single mode, multi-mode, SR/LR/LRM.
