Startech.Com ET91000SM402 1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Single Mode Fiber Media Converter with Sc 40 Km SM 40km Gigabit SC

Clean and simple installation; a no-brainer. Hint: If replacing a failed unit, make sure you get two and replace both ends.

I purchased 2 of these to replace an old Fiber Media Converter and could not figure out why they were not working for a while since everything seemed to hooked up correctly. Well on 1 end I had a 100MB switch going to it and It needed to be plugged into a Gigabit switch. I gave it 5 stars still because this is how it is advertised and after replacing the switch it works great. I am just not used to deviced not being backward compatible but I also do not work with Fiber Components often and this may be standard. I am going to purchase another just incase one of them goes bad in the future.

Searched for these On-line and found others for much more money. Some double and triple the cost. I have 2,000 ft. of separation between two of these for buildings and connected by fiber. For the money and speed these work perfectly for internet and Wi-Fi, that I am using them for.

Gigabit fiber speeds at the house. Working great. No complaints. Make sure you remember to set them to "Force" if you have one of these at each end. Needed assistance from customer service (I was plugging into a 10/100 port at the source, and these are GigE only) and they were great.

I was a little skeptical because of the price, but I am glad I gave it a try. Two of these have been connecting a fiber network between my buildings about 2000ft apart. I have not had to restart them once in the four months I have owned them. They have been little workhorses laughing at any amount of traffic I give them. You will not go wrong with these media converters. I needed them in a pinch and Amazon Prime had them to me next day!
