[WISPA] Fiber handoff to Mikrotik

2012-11-13 Thread Dave Barker
I'm upgrading my data from the provider. It's fiber right now but hands off from the provider as Ethernet. The new circuit is going to handoff as fiber. Currently I'm using a RB493G router at my DEMARC, what Mikrotik router do you all recommend to take a fiber handoff? Thanks Dave Broadlinc

I depends on what fiber they hand you. If it is Multi-Mode, you can get sub $75.00 media converters and leave the 450 in place. If it is Single Mode, you may as well get a router with SFP ports as to get a media converter. On 11/13/2012 1:00 PM, Dave Barker wrote: I'm upgrading my data from

Also depends on your commit. How was your CPU load looking with the RB493G? If you're increasing bandwidth, And you were on the edge of needing a faster router. Might as well do them at the same time. Baltic Networks/RouterMaxx with SFP ports comes to mind as a nice step up. Nick Olsen Network

It seems to me that the price is pretty much the same when sm vs mm, just goes up depending on the distance the sfp needs to go. For my application I needed to get an 80km sm version And it was 245 from aaxeon.com Chris -Original Message- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org

Yes, when I priced them last year I didn't find any SM for $350. Got a brand you like? I am going to need another soon. On 11/13/2012 4:06 PM, Faisal Imtiaz wrote: ... Scott, are you under the impression that the Single Mode Fiber Converters are More Expensive ? Today that is not the case...

I am not picky about my SFP's... lots of time pick them up on Ebay... (Surplus). If you like I have SM Fiber GBIC's. $20 each if you need SFP's (normal LX)... I have those too... $ 20 each. If you want full Media converter last ones I bought were from CTC Union...
