Which SFP is correct ?

Two switches CP-MS250 and MS-130.

We have two options for fiber, prefer the yellow SM 1/125um fiber.

The other fiber is Aqua MM OM3 fiber.

 

The problem is we have tried several SFP's to bring up the link with no luck.

 

This is a 10GB link. Can someone suggest the correct 10GB SFP's for both color fibers please.

MA-SFP-10GB-SR will work for OM3
MA-SFP-10GB-LR will work for SM

However to be clear you have an MS130 or and MS130-X? The regular MS130 only does 1GB.

For your 10GB link, you'll need specific SFP modules for each type of fiber:

Yellow SM 1/125um Fiber Single Mode use a 10GBase-LR SFP+ transceiver. 
Aqua MM OM3 Fiber Multimode use a 10GBase-SR SFP+ transceiver.

The one switch is a MS250-48FP

The second switch is MS250-48FP

 

These should support 10GB in the SFP ports correct?

Hi @TommyF , have you tried reversing one of the heads on the fibre fly lead?
