I'm using a fiber link to connect 2 buildings together with 800 ft of multimode fiber. This was running 100Base-FX, but one of the media converters was sitting in a puddle of water after hurricane Ike came though this area a couple of weeks ago, so I figured this is a good time to upgrade the link to gigabit ethernet.
I'm looking at using a Dell PowerConnect 2748 with a SFP Optical Transceiver in the switch and one of these: http://www.lanshack.com/VELOCITY-10...SC-Multimode-Gigabit-Converter-P2262C213.aspx on the other end, which will plug into a Dell PowerConnect 2708.
Does anyone here have any experience with 1000Base-SX and know of any problems with this setup?
Edit: I also realized I could get a Dell PowerConnect 2724 with a SFP Transceiver for about the same price, maybe that would be a better setup?
