Is there anywhere local that has cheap generic SPF+ transceivers (e.g. FS.com cheap)

 

Also, in a related rant, it's really annoying that trying to find spf transceivers on both pricespy and priceme (aka Geekzone price compare) generates results for makeup and suncreen, because what were great platforms for finding the cheapest IT gear are now trying to be sites for everything under the sun. Stop it. Go back to just doing IT part price comparisons you bastards. /rant

There is the odd bit of cheap gear on Trademe, other than that fs.com is practically local...

 

 

 

The search term needs to be SFP not SPF :)

Depends if you need compatibility or not and what optic you are looking for. MMF optics are pretty cheap in NZ

 

Here's a pari of 10g MMF for Cheap
