 Cheapish fibre - copper ethernet media converters? Does anyone have any recommendations for cheapish fibre(or fiber) media converters and where one could buy a pair? They only have to bridge 100Mbit over about 25 meters between houses along a wall, so perhaps no ducting (only internal-external multimode?) will be necessary. If anyone has done something similar please let me know - I'm new to fibre. I know that ethernet would initially be a lot cheaper, but I'm concerned about lightning and ground voltage differences. It seems quite hard to find decent kit (ideally with link-pass-through) which isn't expensive. The stuff on eBay (Allied-Telesyn) and D-Link ones seem expensive, a bit "consumerish" and don't have many reviews. With regards to wifi, 54G Wifi is too slow and unreliable - I've tried it with a pair of WRT54Gs with DD-WRT - and 11n hardware gets quite bad reviews. Thanks.   |
