Can I simply pass traffic from a cell tower thru a Cisco switch to
another switch and then exit to whatver card the cell folks are using.
The feed they provide will be from a similare card on the remote side
was well. These cards take the cell stuff and basically convert it from
copper to fiber.

My issue is shortage of fiber for 1 site and a broken path to the far
side on the other. I do have a point in the middle where they all meet
and I do have a path to the far end. My only issue is to do this I must
pass this through my Cisco hardware. In my eyes it should be simple
media conversion but I am only guessing.

Thanks

What sort of encapsulation does this traffic use? I'm guessing it's not
Ethernet, in which case you're likely out of luck.

Can you tackle this at L1 and use a simple mating sleeve, or do I
misunderstand the problem?
