You can use standard keystone wall plates and an lc-lc coupler (I used pre terminated lc fiber from fs.com and ran that through conduit. Just add slack on both ends to make sure it’s long enough and no need to terminate fussy fiber)

- candiddevmike 3y agoNever heard of FS before, solid company?
- ipython 3y agoAbsolutely. Highly regarded, excellent customer service and fast shipping. My only complaint is their service is a bit too good- they’re used to dealing with businesses so you’re assigned a sales consultant even for a $100 order. But that also means you have easy access to a person if you have any concerns or questions.
- mdekkers 3y agoI bought an SFP+ thingy three years ago and my sales consultant is a darling, we chat at least once a quarter. I haven’t bought anything since, but her kid recently graduated!!
- CTDOCodebases 3y agoThis is sweet. Now I feel bad for blocking them.
- w7 3y agoThey're fairly well known in networking circles. They're basically THE company for buying cheap, but functional, networking bits-and-bobs-- either in bulk, or as an alternative to prowling ebay for smaller purchases. I use them all the time for transceivers, cables, DACs, etc.
- thefz 3y agoYes, it is. I have 4 10Gb SFP+ module couples and some other networking equipment going on for years and never failed. Their advisory/support is very good too.
- CTDOCodebases 3y agoDefinitely. I am using DAC cables I got from them for my Mellanox x3 10Gbe cards. Even thought I didn't need it you can specify the compatibility of the transceivers if your other networking gear is fussy. The only negative for me was they tried contacting me on WhatsApp after the sale but I just blocked them.
