Mix of SFP with fibre and DAC cables two MHO-140 single site, one security-group.

Hello,

I've a question about connection between two MHO-140 and SGM's(6600) in a single site, one security group configuration.

We have right now one MHO-140 and 3 SGM's(6600) in the first room running and we plan to add one more MHO-140 and three SGM's (6600) and put them in the different room in the same building.

No switches or routers will be between two MHO-140 and the distance between two rooms is around 50 meters.

The running SGM's in the room nr:1 are connected to the first running MHO-140 downlink ports via dac cables and I would like to know if that is supported to connect SMGs from the room nr:1 through fiber cables with SFP (10G-short-range) transceiver to the secondary upcoming MHO-140 downlink ports in the room 2 and do the same for the upcoming SGM's in the room nr:2 and connect them to the MHO-140 in the first room?

Thanks a lot
