Connect Multiple Switches with Fiber Optic Cables

[@CarloRecana-c4n]

Can we connect the fiber cable from 2 switches on the left to the Uplink port on the right of fiber switch near NVR? And use the normal port of sfp fiber switch on the right going to router? Thanks

No, the uplink ports on the 8-port SFP port switch are 2x dedicated 1Gbps Ethernet ports, and you cannot connect the normal SFP port on the fiber switch to the router. Only fiber to fiber and ethernet to ethernet.

Can you explain why you connected A fiber on a switch and B on the other? Is there a difference between them? And does the nvr find the ptz camera automatically?

[@Fastcabling]

No, it doesn't matter. However, if you want to build a point-to-point connection between two switches, you should make sure you're using the same strand (A-A, B-B, etc.). The NVR can automatically find the PTZ camera when they're connected to the same network/switch.
