Cheap. - As it looks like the reviews desertcart associates with this device are with 'similar' devices, thought I should chime in on how this particular device works. I plugged in a 'Cisco' rated 10GTek multimode, 550m range SFP transceiver into this, plugged the other identical SFP transceiver into my genuine Cisco SG300 series switch and strung up a 30m pre-made multi-mode fiber rated for outdoor use. The goal of this setup over copper is electrical isolation in case of lightning. It just works. At this it is by far the cheapest solution I have hit so far that just works. I tested performance between my laptop and main computer with iperf and performance was identical between directly plugging in laptop to my Cisco SG300 and through this media converter, near 1Gb/s speeds. With it being so quick, cheap, and easy to do fiber this way, one has to wonder why the fastest ISP I can get in the middle of a major, dense city only provides much crappier, unreliable, fails as soon as the power goes out, and slower service with much more expensive hardware so they can do it over coax and my only other option is antique, slow phone lines. Plus when I moved in they had to string up new lines and of course they chose copper, not fiber, which makes no sense to me. With a cheap single mode SFP transceiver and a cheap media converter they could provide me much faster service with lines running back to their central office where they could have UPSes and backup generators to make the service reliable and sell the service for more money because it would be worth it. At this the stuff wouldn't be going out / getting fried every time there was a lightning storm, which has become increasingly common and intense in recent years where I live. Also FiOS makes no sense to me either when I was in a FiOS neighborhood because they installed this gigantic box (ONT) in my closet that must of cost them a fortune while this cheap little box I am using does the same job except much faster at maybe 1/40th the price. So it's like I could provide awesome service that serves the customers' every need and do it well with a $25 box or I could do it badly with a $1,000 box. Of course telco logic is do it badly with the super expensive box that falls way short of the mark every time. Review: Iffy build quality but decent performance - On my unit, the RJ45 port has a lot of resistance, and the SFP cage is slightly bulging inward from the top. However, this hasn't hindered functionality, so it's within reason for a $25 device. iperf3 bandwidth was the same with/without the converter. I also did a crude ICMP ping test from my router to PC to measure latency. It adds around 4us (repeatably): Without converter: 100000 packets transmitted, 100000 packets received, 0.0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 0.025/0.034/0.081/0.001 ms With converter: 100000 packets transmitted, 100000 packets received, 0.0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 0.029/0.037/0.082/0.001 ms I just wish these devices weren't so expensive. The 10G capable ones cost almost 3-4x as much. I'm just using it to electrically isolate my router from the cable modem (which of course doesn't have an SFP port). ## Features - Seamless Conversion of LC Fiber to Copper – This fiber optic to ethernet media converter kit includes a multimode 1000BASE-SX SFP module(850nm), which enables you to convert 1000BASE-SX LC fiber to 10/100/1000 Base-T RJ-45 copper media or vice versa. - Extend Your Transmission Distance – By using this ethernet fiber media converter, you can easily extend link distance up to 550 meters/ 1804 ft via OM3/OM4 multimode fiber (MMF, LC, Duplex). - Plug and Play – No software installation or configuration required.

Can it support 100-240V?** A: Yes, our media converter can support 100-240V. Besides, ipolex also provide after-sale service and technical support, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. **Q: Will this media converter support using a ubiquiti sfp? specifically uf-sm-1g-s** A: Yes, it can work with a module compatible Ubiquiti. ipolex also provide a set (a media converter with a tranceiver), you can choose via https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0719HS31P/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza?th=1. **Q: Will this convert an optical oc-3 signal coming from a fiber mux to a 10/100mb ethernet port?** A: Not, the OC-3 signal is 100M, and the Optical Port just support gigabit. Thus it will not work. **Q: Will this support other manufacturer's sfp modules or only ipolex brand?** A: Any gigabit brand will support, ipolex also provide a set (multi-mode LC fiber Media Converter+transceiver), the price will be better.

I decided to go the fiber route because I already had conduit run back to it that I could run the line through. Previously I had tried a wireless mesh but my house has aluminum siding and then fire break (think cement board) material under it. On top of that the garage is cinderblock / concrete. That meant getting a wireless signal back there, even with mesh, was problematic. Alternatively I could have used regular CAT 7 cable but the concern was degradation of the wires in the conduit (it does get wet 4 feet below ground - it has been there for 15 years). In the end went with fiber and this product as a "temporary" way to integrate the fiber optic into my regular wired networks in the house and garage. Honestly, it has been so reliable that I never went to a "permanent" solution and 4 years later - they have been and still are working 24/7 without any issue. ## Frequently Bought Together - Gigabit Multi-Mode LC Fiber to Ethernet Media Converter with A SFP SX Module, 1.25G Fiber to Copper RJ45 Media Converter, 1000Base-SX to 10/100/1000Base-TX, MMF, Transmission up to 550 meters/1804 ft - FLYPROFiber- LC to LC Fiber Patch Cable 1M/3ft, OM3 Multimode Fiber Optic Cable Cord, 10GB/40GB, Duplex, 50/125um, LSZH, Options: 0.2m-200m - Cable Matters 2-Pack 1000BASE-SX SFP to LC Multi Mode 1G Fiber Transceiver Modular for Cisco, Ubiquiti, TP-Link, Huawei, Mikrotik, Netgear, and Supermicro Equipment --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.uy/products/47757716-10-100-1000base-tx-to-1000base-sx](https://www.desertcart.uy/products/47757716-10-100-1000base-tx-to-1000base-sx) --- *Product available on Desertcart Uruguay* *Store origin: UY* *Last updated: 2026-10-31*
