And you used to have to pay the car dealer to reprogram your TPMS system if you 
replaced a sensor.  Then someone cracked the code and all the tire dealers will 
do it for free or you can buy a gizmo to do it yourself.

And an official Cisco SFP-10G-LR  10Gbit SFP+ 1310nm 10km  is $3000 while the 
FS equivalent is $30 CDN. Fun market.

Interesting.  The JDSU industrial temp SFP's are like $200+ 

Makes me wonder if one of them is robbing me or is the other one bullshitting 
me.

FS sells a bazillion different SFPs.  What is the spec temp range on the ones 
you got?

 

Someone else pointed me to these:

-30 is pretty cold, not sure if that’s F or C.  Of course at -40 they’re the 
same.  You’d expect if you have them plugged into a switch there would be some 
heating and the SFP wouldn’t be as cold as the outdoor temp.

When I was designing for Carlson, we discovered cold is always the enemy, not 
heat.

Run fiber. Goes farther, does not conduct.

We have a rural tower site where the owner has a few houses on the property,

But.... with the size of the property and the tower being a big metal 
structure, that caused some voltage / ground imbalances that fried gear at the 
houses after storms, I believe even through surge supressors (hich are made to 
protect against single high-voltage direct strikes).

 

We put in some electrical isolation using copper-fiber-copper converters / 
switches at the tower, those worked until the winter: when it got to -30 
outside the FiberStore SFPs were unhappy.

 

Does anyone have good cold-weather solutions? Or were we just unlucky with 
those SFPs and should try something else in the cold?
