Fiber Network Often Times

We use these to uplink to an ethernet port up too 3000ft away when we webcast events. Often times school gyms, field-houses or press-boxes wont have a network connection, so being able to long haul ethernet over fiber is a god-send.
Often times, the cheapest option is the obvious choice, but in this case I chose the next to cheapest I could find for two reasons; first I have used TrendNet equipment before and know that they have a talent for balancing reliability, performance and price, and second, the realtek chipset that drives this medi converter is capable of actively matching different network types, while the other model I considered could only pass them through.
The mix and match network conversion is the most important feature of this product, and one that is actually missing from many converters. What this means, is that you can match any 10/100/1000 wired network to any mini-gbic compliant SFP module, a 100m copper network to a 1.25g fiber module for instance,...Read more

Etchells (Woodstock, ..	I've used these for years, but for whatever reason, have recently had some trouble with them after power drops. As others have reported, if the power drops on one or both ends of a link, sometimes (but not always), the link won't come back up again afterward. The fix is an incredible nuisance, but does at least seem to work reliably: You have to power off both ends of the link, physically plug the ethernet cables on each end into different ports on your ethernet switch, and then power things back up. I have no idea what could be happening, but apparently the switch's MAC address/port-mapping tables get scrambled in some way that they can't recover.The other nuisance factor, also reported by others, is that the Link LED on either end only lights when the full link across the fiber has been established. So you could think your ethernet cable or switch port is bad when you don't get a Link indication, when it might actually just be that there's a problem on the fiber...Read more	2
