We did use them to replace various damaged transceivers in our cisco based network. They worked just perfect!

Bought four of them I am using these for a 500 ft fiber run. Been running them for 4 weeks now without any problems and no resets.

Have 2 to convert a 600ft fiber run between 2 houses. Works great with no connectivity loss. Recommend if you have long runs you need to make.

I upgraded a 100Mb fiber run with this to 1Gb. The other end is a rugged Trendnet switch. So far so good.

Once product it installed, it works great. However there are a few issues, which is why I only give it 2 stars.Purchased two and when I first received it, it wouldn't auto connect straight out of the box. According to our Trendnet technical support call, we had to open both boxes and play with the jumper switches until I found a combination that worked for us. After a few hours, I finally found a combination that worked. Was happy it now works, but very unhappy about the amount of time it took to install something that should auto-connect. This brings me to the second issue I don't like about these things.The link lights on these devices are a general link - nothing more. If ANY connection on EITHER converter is lost, ALL link lights turn off - including on the Ethernet switches. This makes it very difficult to troubleshoot any type of connection issues. These should have independent link lights for fiber and Ethernet instead of leaving us guessing where the problem is at. Even though the pair I have is working great now, it makes me nervous thinking any future issues we may have with them.

Bought 4 of these after lightning killed lots at my house. Direct strike to the buried cable in the yard took out cable modem, router, a cable tv to ip converter and several switches and other devices plugged into that switch. I'm now using these as electrical isolation between my cable modem and router, and ip tv device and my LAN.

I didn't buy these through Amazon but had them purchased for me by our IT company. I pulled 850+ feet of Multimode fiber and used the Unicam system to terminate. They hooked these transceivers up and couldn't get a link. They spent several hours and I spent a few before I called in a cabling company to do a more thorough check of the fiber. All the the strands passed and we were baffled as to the problem. I stubbled on a review for a Startech transceiver that noted they had to put a gig speed switch on both ends before the two transceivers would establish a link. The IT company had purchased gig speed switched but never hooked them up when they were setting up and testing the fiber. After reading the review it dawned on me the switches were still in their boxes. After installing the gig speed switches on both ends, everything worked great. YOU NEED GIG SPEED SWITCHES AT BOTH ENDS!! At least this particular model will not auto negotiate down.

Se trata de un transceiver bastante simple. Funciona correctamente y su precio es bastante bajo. No es administrable pero se autogestiona muy bien.

Recommendation: Don't buy!I have two of these, one on either end of a fiber run of about 350 feet. The connection regularly drops between the fiber points. And it stays broken, until one side is unplugged for several seconds. WTF.This diagnosis is from my network engineerIf the diagnosis is correct (and I tend to agree it is) Then the adaptor completely defeats the purpose of long runs. And adds hours and hours of expensive troubleshooting.I live in Montana, and walking 300 in knee deep snow to the mechanical shed 4 times today really really sucked. I'd like my money back for these.
