ipolex Gigabit Ethernet Multimode LC Fiber Media Converter 10/100/1000Base-Tx to 1000Base-SX(SFP SX Transceiver Included), up to 550M

I got these to replace a set that burned out over time. Plugged these in and the network was back online like nothing ever happened. We are running a 45 mile distance between the modem/router and the switch and these media converter work like a champ.

The Adapter functions as desired though only contained a US power adapter so converters or an additional power adapter is required if you’re from outside the US

I originally bought this 4 years ago to connect my stand-alone garage to my home network. I decided to go the fiber route because I already had conduit run back to it that I could run the line through. Previously I had tried a wireless mesh but my house has aluminum siding and then fire break (think cement board) material under it. On top of that the garage is cinderblock / concrete. That meant getting a wireless signal back there, even with mesh, was problematic. Alternatively I could have used regular CAT 7 cable but the concern was degradation of the wires in the conduit (it does get wet 4 feet below ground - it has been there for 15 years). In the end went with fiber and this product as a "temporary" way to integrate the fiber optic into my regular wired networks in the house and garage. Honestly, it has been so reliable that I never went to a "permanent" solution and 4 years later - they have been and still are working 24/7 without any issue.

Product arrived as intended. Great value! Made of harden steel. Have not tried it out yet, but will soon.

this item is excellent; also compatible with cisco multi-mode SFPs.
