Single Mode LC WDM Single Fiber Bi-Di Gigabit Media Converter - Built-in Fiber Module 20km (12.42 Miles) - to UTP Cat5e Cat6 10/100/1000 RJ-45 - Auto Sensing Gigabit or Fast Ethernet Speed -1 Pair

I needed to send data between two computers through a connection that was a bit less than 200' apart. The WIFI signal wasn't adequate as it often dropped the connection. Purchased a 200' ethernet cable, however the connection worked at times, then at others it didn't. Purchased a couple of ethernet booster devices that didn't solve the problem.Purchased this with enough fiber optic cable to reach. I did have to purchase a different version of the piece that the cable clipped into. The one that came with this is designed for a single strand and what I'd purchased was a double.I hooked everything up with the two computers side by side. The connection still ran through the entire length of the fiber optic cable, so this way I could see if it would work without unspooling the cable.Bingo, it worked. Still I didn't tuck the cable out of sight yet until I'd made sure that it worked in the operational capacity. It did and so now the cable it tucked out of sight, mostly, and I have the operational capacity that I needed.

Over the past years I replace routers in my garage which is connected to my house by a breezeway because I've tried ethernet cat 5 cables. Just get lightning in the area and the cable charges and blows out my garage router. I finally went to a wireless bridge but could never get good speed - the brick on my house and garage is like a faraday cage.I fished a 160ft fiber LC to LC and used this pair of optical converters and my problem is solved. I ran it from my house router through these converters and now I've got 250MB speed in the garage! Power has gone out an they pop right back. We've had several bad lightning storms and no problems!

not sure it is my fiber cable issue or what. we tried to use this one directly connected to the one of the fiber cable but totally no signal.if we connect the original 2 cables to the bi-converter and it works well.we try to make one fiber connection into 2 but not working at all.

Great product have gig ethernet to the barn now and no worry about lighting any more.

i used this for extending a 10 meg ckts across walmart that was about 900 ft. not one problem. however the power cord from the brick to the wall is only 6 inches.that was a issue.
