Review on 1.25G Media Converter Kit #1 with πŸ”Œ SFP Slot and SFP Module: MMF, 850nm, 550m by Douglas Irwin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Small size matters

I bought this fiber optic media converter to create an ethernet connection between an ROV and a ground station controller. Fiber optic solved some of the problems that UTP caused for me. The signals from the 3 cameras and the control connection are transmitted via fiber optic cables. I chose this media converter because it was cheap and had the LC connectors I needed. The small size was also decisive. I removed the case to make it easier to insert the media converter via the mini switch.

Pros
  • Handy item
Cons
  • Lots of stuff
