BLU Link over fiber - $75 media converter

Dan Lynch

MicronNetworking sells a gigbit media converter made by Planet Networking & Communication for $75. According to one of our distributors, this thing works great. Has anyone else used it?

I'd be very interested in any feedback anyone has about this product.

Thanks,

Hi Dan, it looks very similar to this one:

Also able to be placed in a modular frame for multiple units. Our pricing would be the equivelant of $200 US.

Used with no problems.

I know I'm reviving a very old thread here, but has anybody used the Planet Networking 60km unit with either Cobranet or BluLink? I have a plant that is about 14 miles away from the main building that I would like to incorporate into the system if possible. I know that the latency with cobranet may be an issue that will need to be further researched.

If anyone has any thoughts on this or may have a better solution I'm all ears.
