[AusNOG] Recommendation on a reliable/good 1000Base-X to 1000Base-T media converter.

[Terry Sweetser (SkyMesh CTO)]

+1 on the ME3400EG platform.

The 12 port version is really 16 ports, the 4 extra ports are NNI.

They have optional dual power, DC options and will convert 802.1ab to 
cisco q-inq, do lacp and interception.

OOBM is available on a 100M copper port or the standard cisco console.

There's also a layer 3 ios, so it's also a router ...... :P
