I needed few SFP modules for my Open SFP Slot media Converters for my project, and TP-link one did just fine. It has nice box and installation manual (not like you can mess it up anyways). 2 year warranty is greatly appreciated.

Bought this as part of an Ethernet bridge to get my home LAN out to my detached garage (WiFi was not reliable). The system is working wonderfully! Paired with TP-Link Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter, Up to 1000Mbps RJ45 to 1000Mbps SFP Slot Supporting MiniGBIC Modules (MC220L) , one on each end of a fiber line. No complaints.

Work just fine on a business install linking our two buildings (i'd estimate 2000 feet of cabling between us). Had to "trick" our cisco 2960 catalyst switches into accepting these modules but that is literally a 10 second process and a few lines of telnet code

These are great devices for fiber networks, conversions, or extensions

Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2024

Style: SFP to SFP Media ConverterVine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )

I have several of these devices around my property, where I have four or five structures spread across a large property and connected by buried fiber optic cables. These media adapters work great with Cisco brand SFPs. (They probably work with others, too, but my entire network environment is Cisco.) If you need to convert between fiber types -- perhaps for long or short distance runs -- this is a very easy way to do it. You just need the fibers and appropriate SFPs, and it's plug-and-play. I have even used these devices in an outdoor setting (in weatherproof boxes), and they are generally fine -- heat will get to them at the peak of a Texas summer, so make sure you are at least shaded if you have an outdoor installation. I have never had any reliability problems with my indoor-based units.

If you tinker with fiber optics, you almost undoubtedly know a situation where you will need one of these to extend a run, add a run, change between fiber types or wavelength for transmission distance, etc. I can very highly recommend this product and the TP-Link brand. They are a great solution at a very low price, and are pretty much "set it and forget it" solutions.

Works with SOTM SFP switch SN10g

Reviewed in Singapore on December 1, 2021

Style: Single - Mode Fiber SFPVerified Purchase

Works great on SOTM SN10G SFP port switch. This is a 1G module. Have purchaed Finisar 1475 which is 10G bandwidth module however SOTM switch cannot support 10g.Users might want to tale note. Sound wise, clear as a whistle no issues so far as am using this TPLINK module daisy chain to another SOTM SN10G. With fibrepro 7" length LCLC os2 .You can buy the whole wide web of modules to try and narrow them down to the best sound for any audiophile given switch but I find that it is a waste of money and time.You are better off playing LPs.However for TIDAL streaming does works fine for me and have tested playing back and forth from a ripped to wave cds 44.1/16bit direct from cocktail x40 thru uab (sotm usb ultra onboard clock) and with Lenovo laptop also with Sotm txusb ultra, TIDAL, the tidal does sound slightly similar but take note though, the decay of the cymbals ended (faster)lesser last note shimmering decay effect. Softer no bite.No air surrounding the cymbals.No idea why?All psu are plixir balance elite .Amps are Belcanto ref500s to Mytek broolyn dac+ and cables kimber ks1021/ pk10 palladian /ks2036/8tc.SR fuaes amd bybees with shakti stones and shakti onlines.SR tranqua bases.

Update 1
Now having bought 08 and no issues at all. Only for LC to LC fibres and OS single mode SM single mode. Do not use OM or MM multimode. Do not mix the IN and OUT of the module.Wise choice to go with same module maker/ model nbr.
