SUMMARY: peer-to-peer fiber connection

Thanks to everyone who replied:

I have received different answers, some say it will not work,
some say must cross the fiber cables to work and some say to
just connect them and it will work.
I will try the two later ways since I know it should work.

Thank you,
Vahid.
