Ubiquiti Beta US-16-XG $299

[Patrick]

Having done a 100' aerial run of OM3 between my house and detached garage / office by myself... trust me, if you want it done right, suck it up and pay someone else to do it.

That is 100% the plan. Finding someone to do a "small" job like that in the bay area is hard.

Otherwise (if you're comfortable) run the cable yourself and hire a low voltage vendor to put ends on.
fs.com is great for inexpensive, quality fiber.

If you're replacing, or avoiding buying in the first place, some old switch with 10GbE ports then one of these literally pays for itself in reduced power! How many threads on here can say that?

For my configs:

Quanta LB4M: 68w
Quanta LB6M: 129w
Ubiquiti US-16-XG: 18.75w

Where I live, every watt saved is about $1/year. If your gear is heating up an air conditioned space, that's even more savings!

Where I live that extra heat is strongly needed, and the electricity cost is 1/4 of the average in other countries. So I am fine with using 130w

In that case, might I interest you in a lightly used LB6M?

Wow! On months I use more than 2000kW, which is 10-11 months per year, I only pay $0.074 here in Texas.

@Marsh - a bit of context for those not in CA, PG&E is 337.9 kWh for Tier 1, another 337.9 kWh in Tier 2 and then over that Tier 3.

It is very easy to hit Tier 3.

Never mind- chrome and firefox gave me issues, but worked with Internet Explorer
1 coming in for me!

Well seeing the >20W figure sold it for me. I'm in for one.

Don't think that counts as a legally binding NDA or resale restriction...nothing about reviews or resale was on the Beta program Ts and Cs when I clicked 'agree'.

Where was the sticker, on the inner box? Mine didn't have that.

You agreed to the TOS by signing up with the Beta Program...

I think it's more of a CYA by their legal team since UBNT's whole company is all about Ubiquiti evangelists selling their products for them.
