[QUOTE="Pheasant Surprise, post: 101093, member: 1103"] Ok here is my shopping list, for a single point to point link with PoE Ethernet switches at either end: [B]Switches:[/B] 2 of Netgear GS110TP-100EUS - 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet PoE Smart Switch w/2 Gigabit Fibre SFP £113.70 each inc.

VAT from LambdaTek At a bare minimum you only need 2 SFP modules. 1 for each switch at either end of the link [B]Pre-terminated Fibre:[/B] Pre Terminated 4 Core Loose Tube Steel Wire Armoured 9/125 OS1 Single Mode Fibre Cable with LC type connectors The grade of fibre is single-single mode with a 9 micron core, 125 micron cladding, known as OS1 9/125. The connectors are "LC" type which are the small form factor used for the Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers in the switches. Here are the two cable styles I would recommend for direct burial.
