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... www.ctcu.com.tw ..... http://stores.ebay.com/Fiber-Optic-for-All-warehouse?_trksid=p2047675.l2563 These days, we are using Ethernet Switches with SFP's as media converters... with the exception of when we need a SMF Fast Ethernet Media Converter.
