Works exactly as advertised.

Used to replace a failed unit (discontinued) on an existing inter-building fiber. Plug and play with installed equipment. Simple, no frills. Is working.

Pros
  • Feels Good
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Stability and Reliability

I have deployed pairs of these devices in several locations between buildings and where the length of the run within the building needed to exceed the 100 meter limit of copper Ethernet. All were very reliable. My only complaint is a small one. At this price I wish they were gigabit and not just 10/100 but that does NOT reflect the quality of the product. I've also used StarTech's T-1 fiber-over-fiber products, which have been just as good as their Ethernet products. Everything we have used…

Pros
  • Worth your money
Cons
  • Everything OK

Very good solution for lightning protection!

We use two of those inexpensive ethernet to optic converters for lightning protection. We are a radio station with a 1,200 foot tower that is often struck by lightning. Previously, we had several modems, two computers, and three routers and switches that failed due to a lightning strike on our wired network. These boxes, connected by a 6 foot optical cable, sit between our modem and router. The system works fine, performance is not affected. Now only the modem and one of those converters are at

Pros
  • Good thing
Cons
  • -

MAKE A DIFFERENT CHOICE. NOT THAT ADVANTAGE

This is clearly the worst product. The fiber optic connection has been disconnected and there is no guarantee. When I discovered this was NOT what I believed, the time had passed to return. (Check EBay for it, coming soon at a reduced price). PLEASE MAKE ANOTHER CHOICE.

Pros
  • Great product
Cons
  • Bad experience
