TP-Link Gigabit Fiber Media Converter: SFP to RJ45, 10/100/1000Mbps RJ45 Port, 1000Base-SX Multi-Mode Fiber (MC200CM) Black Review

We had an old version here at work with a toggle switch and I was worried I wouldn't be able to get a proper connection between the older one (firmware version 2.1) and this is newer (firmware version 4.0) but it synced and worked like clockwork. I'm wondering why we've already lost the old version as it's only been installed for a little over a year. Simply put, I was blinking at FX the whole time. It just didn't connect anymore. Swapped it for a new one and it worked. -1 star for the lifespan

I was having problems with my cable company and electrician with separate locations outside the home. We've lost a lot of electronics over the years due to lightning and improper grounding. Using a fiber optic break between the power and cable eliminates the possibility of lightning propagating from the cable company and striking back to earth through the electronics. I've been using these fiber optic converters for about a decade now and have had no further damage from power surges. Note that…

. My router and printer were recently destroyed by a thunderstorm. We have a UPS for power, but it looks like lightning struck the cable line and burned the ethernet ports on the devices (the cable modem was somehow unaffected). I looked at cable line surge protectors but saw mixed reviews. A surge of current from a cable line cannot travel through the fiber. In the worst case, the modem and cheap converter can burn out. So far everything works great. My internet connection is 150m/s and mine…

Good product at a great price. This product would be greatly improved with a few other features even if the price was a bit higher. Desired properties: Case with front lighting and all connections on the back. Another nice feature will be the ability to support multiple Ethernet speeds (10/100/1000). This serves my purpose now, but when I need to use some of my old technology products in my optically isolated network branch office, this doesn't work for my application. However, for the price…

No configuration. Truly plug and play. The ideal solution for the transition from copper (Ethernet) to fiber optics. I've used two of these to provide surge protection for extended ethernet connections after hearing stories of induced high voltages leaking into the ethernet and destroying attached devices. For about $100 (the cost of two such devices plus a fiber optic patch cord), this breaks the copper connection and prevents power surges from being transmitted down the Ethernet cable. Fiber…

We were running an old toggle switch version here and I was concerned that I would not be able to switch properly between the older version (version 2.1 firmware) and this newer version communicate ( version 2.1 firmware) 4.0), but it synchronized and worked like clockwork.

Bought 2 of these to upgrade the fiber optic channel but a week after they arrived the power supply died which worked with another fiber optic transceiver on a different channel and I finally have them this one sentence uses this as a substitute. They were a perfect replacement for a fancy set, so I received them just in time. Also, each transceiver acts as a switch as one of the transceivers is connected to a 100baseT port and the other to a Gigabit switch port. I'm assuming the fiber optic…
