Question : Problem: Connect switch to fiber optic cable

I'm putting in Cat5e cabling in a new building, with multi mode fiber connecting between wiring closets. Switches will be Dlink DGS 1248t model, with dlink dem 310-gt mini gbic fiber connection module.  Fiber ends will be terminated, so do I need any other cables to put this all together? Terminated fiber =>gbic module=>switch=>cat 5e cabling?
Thanks

Answer : Problem: Connect switch to fiber optic cable

If the GBIC is built into the switch:
Everything sounds fine.

If the GBIC is a separate device:
What kind of cabling are you using between the GBIC and the switch input?  The kind of cabling is important when doing that.  You should be using just standard network cables (no crossover, no rollover, etc.).
