Review on πŸ”Œ TP-Link TL-SM311LS: Gigabit SFP 1000Base-LX Single-mode Fiber Module (10km), LC/UPC Interface by Carlos Burrows

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great functionality, but be careful with the resulting heat!

Works very well for the price and is extremely easy to use. The only downside is that the amount of heat generated by this thing is almost dangerous. After it's been running for a few minutes, you'll need gloves to touch it. I wouldn't put it next to anything flammable. I had to go back and install separate fans for the racks to keep them from catching fire. If I were in TP-Link's position, I would invest some R&D into solving this issue as it's hard to imagine that over time this can't cause problems.

Pros
  • Well made
Cons
  • Great price
