Sounds like you're saying each copper injector port converted to an SFP?
That would work. I could actually see that working very well with CWDM
muxes and the existing 12/2 or 14/2 and 4x SMF hybrid cables on the
market right now.
But as I mentioned before, if you have a radio with only a 100Mb
interface, a regular gigabit media converter won't do any good (because
they're 1G in, 1G out). Maybe if your device could take 100FX/BX and
1000SX/LX SFPs, then it wouldn't be much of an issue, just match the SFP
with the copper speed of the radio. No switch on top, all ethernet
circuits to the shelter/cabinet I feel is always more appropriate,
especially for routed applications.

Yeah, maybe I should be clearer what I'm looking at.
I'm looking at various options to build a tower-top box to simplify
the fiber up the tower with syncronized radios at the top.. Think a
multiport ubiquiti fiberpoe with sync over power and a gps receiver
built in, along with tower-top management.
I don't want to include a switch up top - most people want as little
as possible up there, and I'd rather keep the whole thing as simple as
possible - I'd rather just use a copper-to-sfp chipset, but I haven't
found any which I feel comfortable integrating. So I need to tear
some more of the units apart to figure out what chipsets are available.

Haven't had one fail due to cold yet that I know of. That's a
switch, so maybe it's more complicated than you're going for.

Subject: [AFMUG] Gigabit ethernet converters?
I want to buy another selection of gigabit copper to sfp
converters for reverse engineering purposes. Ideally some which
are known to work well and especially any which don't fail in non
climate controlled environments.
What is everyone using?
