I bought a pair of these in 2014 to connect my rooftop WiFi hotspot to the rest of the network because it means there isn't a direct copper connection between things that could be struck by lightning , and my office. They still work great.

Started shopping and found several different brands that were at least double the price. I decided to try these. Inserting a fiber optic cable is tricky, but once it's in, it stays! They were so cheap that I bought additional ones as spares. I've been using it for about 6 months, the patency is excellent. The spare wheel is still in the box!

I've already forgotten how many I've bought, they work great, have 6 lights to help with troubleshooting/connections, light weight, work well in higher temperatures and below. I will continue to buy as needed.

These multimode fiber to ethernet transceivers are a very cost effective way to extend your network beyond the limits of traditional ethernet. We have two 500ft fibers that we use with them. The units are in a hostile environment and are holding up very well.

I bought two of these two to replace old transceivers that have failed. I've used them to connect multiple buildings together with fiber optic cables. Good price, good quality, fast delivery. They just work. What else could you ask?
