SODOLA Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter, Multi Mode Dual LC Fiber to Ethernet RJ45 Converter for 10/100/1000Base-Tx to 1000Base-SX(with a SFP MMF 850-nm Module), up to 550-m

Item as described but AC cord is short.

I bought this as a curiosity, as I always hear disparaging things about cheap AE Media Converters. I'm glad to report that this has worked wonderfully for me for the past 3 months without ANY issue. The only real concern I had was the power adapter as it feels very cheap, but I haven't had a problem so far. I'm using FS BiDi optics in mine without issue.If you are looking for a simple SFP to RJ45 media converter and don't need anything fancy, this is a great option!

Item works well. No data speed loss at all

I ordered this to connect some remote cameras about 500 feet away from my main switch. My small remote switches do not have fiber capability so this seemed like a workable solution.I ran a fiber cable along with my power cable in a conduit to the remote location. I did need two termination boxes for power, POE injectors and ethernet connections. The converter worked without issue and now I have cameras and sensors 500 feet away.I know I could have used wireless bridges but this solution is much more secure and I was even able to add alarm wires attached to the termination boxes to detect tampering.I could only ask that the manufacturer make a POE version to help reduce the clutter in my termination box.

I had no idea that consumer-level fiberoptic had gotten this easy!
