Yeah, lots of price changes. I buy most SFP. SFP+ from them now, I like the ease of ordering DDM or extra temp rated, or compatibility modded etc.

Resources, labor cost, industry around it. Lots of rare earth metals that exist in that region of the world. Low labor cost compared to the US.

Also better prices for things like SC, LC bulkheads and patch panels.

I'm curious if anyone has ordered any newer batches of these products. This is the second change we've seen in the case of the SFP. All the units from then newest batch seem to have trouble linking to the FTC Media Converter or to 2011s, Cloud Core products seem to link together just fine over shorter distances. We're wondering if we just happened to get two 10-packs that have gone bad or if anyone else has seen any issues with newer SFPs? -- Samuel Kirsch, Network Support Plexicomm - Internet Solutions | www.plexicomm.net<http://www.plexicomm.net> Office: 1.866.759.4678 x109<tel:1.866.759.4678%20x109> | Fax: 1.866.852.4688<tel:1.866.852.4688> Emergency Support: 1.866.759.9713<tel:1.866.759.9713> | [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> -- [cid:[email protected]]
