Hi

The difference in Cabling,

* Low metal content, single-mode fiber-optic, complying with ITU-T G.652 and ISO/IEC 793-2 Type B1

Maximum distance: 10 km (single mode) or 550 m (multimode).

If you want to know what do you have in your switch, it depends on the Modules that you have, BUT :

I prefer to use the HP ProCurve Configurator, so you can simulate what do you have and know better about the Option you have:

Download this software and you can know easily what exactly do you have.

Don;t forget to assign points.

Good Luck !!!
