@manawyrm @ann3nova do you need attenuators if you have an especially short run of cable between transceivers or can they just deal with ~full tx power arriving at their rx port? Unless I fumbled 100m of an OS2 cable (assuming 0.4dB/1km) with LC/APC connectors (assuming 0.2dB insertion loss) at both ends only attenuates to about 90% of the input power

@manawyrm @ann3nova hey, because energy for a year can quickly become more expensive than the hardware: do you happen to have a wall-power measurement for the media converter? (just an order of magnitude, not something detailed. I want to know whether we're talking 4€/a in electricity, or 50€/a.

@manawyrm @ann3nova Was about to say… if you use bidi, you can get some really cheap and armored yet reasonably flexible fibers from china that are superduper thin with a connector that fits through fairly small holes. Just ordered some for a project and they were en-par with prices for decent cat7 copper cable.
