Google didn't give me a definitive answer, so I'm asking here. There are erroneously brought HP J4858C SFP modules (Instead of J4859C), they are multimode, the fiber (patches \ route) on the object is single-mode everywhere, respectively, the question is - will the link between two J4858Cs rise, and will it be stable? The distance is small - about 200 meters. There is no way to check on the table.

You have to try, maybe it will work. There are proofs

It can start, but there will be no stability. torn pings, falling links. Better change.
