most fiber runs need 2 strands per connection

That is just not true. Who told you that? Let me guess, you read it on the internet

I know its just a certification, I have seen installs upwards of 700+ feet at 10mbit., you can add dsl boxes, and go miles too.

It's more than a certification. It's all about performance. And what kind of DSL Box extends ethernet?

LOL, I do it for a living. Most people don't use Bidi, this includes enterprise and commercial customers. I didn't want to complicate the thread.

you can use something like this.

Feel free to input your own solutions, other then pissing all over other peoples.

I am keeping this simple, feel free to ignore my options if YOU don't want to use them.

That's dsl extender is pretty cool.

Personally I wouldn't depend on Ethernet (ie cat 5/6) past 100m, because "specifications" mean something and if I'm going to put a wire in a ditch that far I want to know it's in spec and I have good expectation that it'll work more than "this seems to work even though it's revved past redline!"; in my case I went with fiber, but something like this vdsl extender would also do the job (in spec).

There is a lot more to it then that, if you scroll further up, there is another extender kit above, that will push poe as well out to about 1500 feet.

tons of different options. pretty easy anymore. glad your setup is working well for you.

In my case it is only to monitor my solar invertors. Just figured why spend extra $ if it works for what I needed it for and it works just fine for that application at 500+ feet.

As do I. When you say things like it takes 2 fibers that statement is quite misleading .

I used the word "most". No need to complicate matters here.

Up until recently all commercial gear used 2 fibers. 1 for send & 1 for receive. Some newer gear can use different wavelengths of light on the same fiber to only use 1 strand. But that's a bit less common.

No clue how the interconental type fiber is setup, but everything in an office building or data center until recently was 2 strands.
