TRENDnet 100Base-TX to 100Base-FX Multi Mode ST Fiber Media Converter (2 Km / 1.2 Miles) with Auto-Negotiation, Auto-MDIX, Full-Duplex Mode, Fiber to Ethernet Converter, Lifetime Protection, TFC-110MST Review

It just works. I replaced some Transition Network devices with them since some of them were in the RMA. Seems to be working fine.

Just connect 2 of these babies to each end of the fibre, connect the RJ45 connectors to the switch on both ends and you have a working network extension. No problem.

Sirenia recommends purchasing a $500 transducer from them for your dental x-ray. I decided to try the trending network and my $450 is glad I did. Works great

I work for a petrochemical company and maintain industrial control systems. We use a lot of these media converters. We usually buy 6 and keep them on the shelf until we need them. This time I'm buying 6. When I open the box, the ST connectors are broken. I'm trying to return and the return period is only 45 days, even without a return on credit. How do I use a broken device in the box?

Several other reviewers (Francisco C. and DG.) have noted that the fiber connection pins on these devices break easily. They are not made of metal like the rest of the box, but of brittle plastic. Be very careful when connecting fiber optic cables or you will end up with broken connectors and need to find another way to secure the cable(s). Or better yet, buy a different brand of transceiver with metal connectors.
