Viwire Mode can be configured mixed type?

Hello everyone.
 
I am considering of configuring Vwire mode pair (copper and fiber ports)
They can combine together even though different type
 
I don't know well, Does system operate about packet forwarding each port properly?
I cannot find similar to that case my neighbor

Have you guys ever experienced about that case?
 
Thank you

yes you can mix copper and fiber in a vwire as long as both sides speed and duplex are identical
