Pros: Sturdy metal construction, also offered in SC configuration if you need it.

Great modular design! This is actually a media converter card inside of a single slot chassis. If you end up with a bunch of these in one spot, you can buy a rack-mount chassis and move the cards over to it, saving space and power.

Cons: Doesn't come with any racking brackets.

Other Thoughts: I have about 10 of these in my network.

These days, media converters seem to be taboo, so be prepared to deal with judging looks from your boss. Probably should be replaced with a managed switch + SFP for the long-term.

Pros: Easy install
Good LED indicators (both fiber and copper status)

Cons: has not helped my receding hair line

Other Thoughts: Using three pairs of these units (6 total) to connect two buildings over an aerial fiber cable. VOIP traffic on all three links with out any issues.

Pros: Simple/easy setup (basically no setup), nice LEDs to help show link/etc..

Cons: Really, none.

Other Thoughts: Great, simple, much cheaper then Cisco GBIC's!

Pros: I have 4 pairs of these. One pair in place about 4 years. They just keep on chugging along. They never even need power cycled. The first pair replaced a pair of Allied Telesyn though I was worried due to the low price. After the first pair ran so well, they became my first choice for futher use. I was shopping for a pair for a new installation and thought that they deserved to be rated!

Cons: None.

Pros: Very easy to use... good price!!! Just plugged in and was ready to go.

Cons: nothing to speak of.

Other Thoughts: Used 2 of these in a very simple fiber-run setup. Install was a snap and would be easy for even the most non-technical. Only "catch" that a user would have to look for is "swapping" the TX/RX wires on either end of the media convertors (which is mentioned in documentation). easy!!!

Pros: Plugged them in and they worked!! No dipswitches, no programming, etc. Plug and play.

Cons: None so far.

Other Thoughts: Bought 8 of them and they all worked great. They are in a VERY dusty and hot environment. Will be interesting to see how long they last. We'll see!

Pros: works immediately and well, good value.

Cons: no cons

Pros: Great Product !!

Cons: None

Pros: Great price
Does the job

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: This is an excellent fiber/100btx converter .... it amazes me that other (well known) brand names are so overly priced ... But TrendNet and save yourself from literally paying twice the price for a competitors media converter.

Comments: these little boxes are great. I've used Allied Telesyn, Startech, and a variety of other fiber converters and these are the best. I was skeptical at first because they are so cheap, but they work like a charm. Some fiber boxes require you to do a manual reset procedure in the event of a power failure, but these don't. I just wish the gigabit boxes were this cheap.
