Only 2 transmitter modules stocked at well over a 10 dollar bill each. No receiver modules are stocked at any price. All hat, no cattle. That is a good enough price on ready-made cables if I wanted to do it with to$link. But the above hardware pricing is not a viable choice when you need lots of them. I have no intention of spending north of $600 for 10 fiber links.
