For a domestic installation, basic multimode cable and $10 10Gtek 1gb transceivers is all you will ever need.
Single mode is only.required for distances over 550m.
The differences between single mode vs multimode fiber lie in the core diameter, wavelength, bandwidth, color sheath, distance, and cost. Read the complete comparison guide to get more details.
Sonore Optical Module Deluxe and the ER combination are fantastic, looking forward to the ER v2. The LHY was on par with other Asian FMC I had tried that cost 1/2 of the LHY. I also run 2 different Finisar SFP based on a recommendation by a friend on anther forum, made huge improvement. He made the recommendation as we have similar networks. He has a similar opinion for LHY. I am glad it works for you. Cheers and Merry Christmas.

I agree, but what I need and what I want are different. I started with basic devices, and gradually upgraded to audiophile gear for better sound quality.
I use basic 1G and 10G transceivers in my secondary systems, but I only use FTLX1475D3BTL and FTLF1318P3BTL in the network feeding my main system. Finisar BTL transceivers are laser-based vs. LEDs used in cheaper modules, and are quieter. Also, Finisar actually manufactures their modules. 10GTek purchases and rebrands from third-party suppliers.
Single-mode fiber is heavily preferred and recommended by audiophiles for best sound, possibly because multimode allows internal reflections between strands, single-mode only uses one strand.
My audiophile fiber media converters (Sonore oMD and Uptone ER) are designed for sound quality, and definitely sound better than my generic FMCs (TP-Link MC220L and 10GTek 1G). Linear power further elevates the sound.
That's odd. As far as I know the EtherRegen is non-specific, should work with any module that supports 1G. A common error is mixing 10G transmission with 1G reception. That will not work. Which SFP have you tried? What does your network looks like?
This is not a retail product. SFP transceivers are designed for industrial applications, the world's global telecoms networks.
Finisar, 10GTek and many others make millions of these things for the global telecoms industry. Given the demand for these products it is hardly surprising these are made in vast quantities in the Far East that are just as good and cheaper than USA based companies.
I thought it funny when Trump was threatening 100% tariffs on BRICS countries over their potential for moving away from the $ (they already have their own exchange mechanisms) because BRICS combined is an economic group 3 times the GDP of the USA and 10 times the population. Whenever I go to those countries, we were in Japan and China in May and are going to Mumbai next week, and I first went to India and China 40 years ago, how increasingly irrelevant the USA economy is becoming to their outlook.

These products work on different wavelengths. Standard 1G stuff is 850nm. 10G uses longer wavelengths. Mixing components is a bit like trying to use a bayonet lightbulb in a screw fitting.

That is not correct. All of my transceivers, 1G, 10G and dual rate 1G/10G, are 1310nm wavelength. All of them work in both SFP and SFP+ ports, but if I use 10G upstream from 1G there will be no communication, because a 1G module cannot read a 10G data stream.
Good that you brought up wavelength though, because the transceivers do need to be on the same wavelength. You also need to match the fiber cable with the mode, and the connectors to the SFP (LC type, blue connectors with yellow cable recommended).
I feel bad about all the fiber talk in a thread that is supposed to be about Network Filters. Maybe a mod could move the off-topic posts to a new thread?

I am not going to discuss any of this with you, as you have brought a political element to this conversation. Merry Christmas and have a joyful Boxing Day.
