Interconnecting optical ports of switches from different brands

Q: Can two optical modules from different brands/suppliers be connected to each other? A: If the wavelength, speed, and fiber type of the module are the same and operate normally on the original switch, two different brands of optical modules can be. Q: Can two optical modules from different brands/suppliers be connected to each other? A: If the wavelength, speed, and fiber type of the module are the same and operate normally on the original switch, two different brands of optical modules can be. When connecting switches, sometimes different brands of switches are connected. So, can different brands of switches and optical modules be interconnected? The answer is yes, but you need to meet th...
