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

Run fiber. Goes farther, does not conduct.

We have a rural tower site where the owner has a few houses on the
property, they ran conduit and cat5e between the houses and the
tower so the houses could get Internet access.
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?
