Hi, Thanks for the query. This features the latest version 3. Kind Regards, Ebuyer Support

Difference between single and multi-mode models please? i'm looking to use for hifi audio streaming

In technical terms multi-mode is an older technology using a slightly thicker fibre and a different wavelength of light (it actually uses several different wavelengths of light over the same fibre). On the other hand, single-mode is more modern and uses a single wavelength running over a narrower fibre. In practical terms, single-mode can carry higher bandwidth and / or over much longer distances (normally kilometres instead of hundreds of metres). Single-mode can run at higher speeds (10Gbps+) over those sorts of distances. The bottom line is that the option you use will depend on the distance you want to cover. If it's up to a couple of hundred metres then it probably doesn't matter. The electrical hardware is also a factor (e.g. if the transceiver runs at 1Gbps then the fibre connection will be limited to that speed). The most important thing is to make sure that the fibre you use matches the transceiver - single-mode fibre with a single-mode transceiver and multi-mode with multi-mode. The connectors at the end of the fibre will also need to be the correct ones for the transceiver. For this particular product you'll need single-mode fibre with at least two cores, terminated with an SC connector.

This one works perfectly.

Simple. Arrived promptly. I installed it as a replacement for a defective MS210CS and it worked perfectly. Been steady now for 4 days. Very very fast communication.

発熱少なく問題ない。安くすみました。耐久性はこれから。

マンション備付のLANが通信できなくなり、裏手の配線ボックスを確認。ハブを介さず無線LANのルーターを取り付けても動かず、テラダのメディアコンバータが壊れていることが判明。、管理会社に連絡したら39000円の消費税別の見積もり。自分で交換したら、こちらの製品の方が発熱少なく問題なく動きました。TXとRXは間違えないようにマーキングしてから交換しました。簡単にできました。助かりました。
