Thank you. I VERY much appreciate user experiences and tips.
Lots of good info here.
I also purchased Multi Mode units, and Single Mode really is for use with impossibly long distances.
Great info on the power upgrades.
I got my two units up and running and will post impressions.

What was the problem that caused it to not work initially?
It turns out my units will only talk to a Gigabit ethernet source.There are two settings..Auto and Force. I tried them both directly into my 3 streamers and nada.
Plugged them into my switches and I get immaculate performance, meaning all 4 lights are solid green and I get the conversion.
Not an issue as I use switches in the systems.
The only thing that bugs me is the conversion should be able to be done with non gigabit devices according to the manual.

"The only thing that bugs me is the conversion should be able to be done with non gigabit devices according to the manual."
Have actually seen the same problem with some inexpensive converters.
The Tripp Lite model I purchased may be cheaper than some, but I am impressed with the build quality and ergonomics.
BTW... They are TP Link not Tripp Lite. Different company.
You are correct. I was bouncing between both on amazon. The cable was tripp lite however.
I began to post this to you further down this thread, then saw that you fixed the issue.
With hardwired Ethernet the ends will typically auto-negotiate their speeds, i.e. 100BaseT, 1000BaseT, etc. This may not happen via a media converter optical link. It is possible that each end (RJ45) is set to a different speed. You should be able to manually set the network parameters at each end, or at the very least if you know what the 'transmitting' side is set to, force the receiving side to match. In Linux, Unix, and Mac, I would use ifconfig. Not sure what you'd use under Windows but poke around your network settings.
Thanks. I may fiddle with the settings at some point. Since the "shortcoming" does not really affect my set up, but I am curious.
"Not sure what you'd use under Windows but poke around your network settings."
Usually under details of the NIC driver (in device mgr) is where you can set forced, auto, etc.
