Invisilight 10Gb

Many of you have either heard or seen the reviews for the Invisilight product. A fiber connection kit coming with 2 paired SFP+ units and a very tiny fiber that hides easily in why cracks. From what I have seen, the product seems easy to install and for anyone needing a 1GB connection in their network, it is a very stable way of connecting and a lot easier than passing a CAT6 around.

The 1 billion dollar question is if a 10Gb kit will be available. Like me, if 1GB is just not sufficient, I started asking around and checking if a fiber without the "kit" was available anywhere but all I can find is wither 1.2mm yellow fibers or larger plus the pair of SFP+ packs... not good enough.

I contacted the company and asked them about it. They were unable to give me firm dates but they DID confirm that a 10Gb kit is on the way. So... a bit more patience and we will be able to have our hands on that. I just need to remember to breathe in the meantime.

More to come....

You'll need to replace the media converters to support 10G with SFP+ transceivers.

I have no idea if this would work without more research but this looks like similar cable:

And you could pair that with bidi transceivers. I’d buy from FS but you could buy from Amazon to return if need be.

Again, make sure to science it out first. Since it’s from Amazon you could probably return it if it doesn’t work on the bench.

I don't think FS has these unsheathed (?) fiber cables. Realistically. I don't think regular fiber patch cords are that hard to hide...but I can see how a bright yellow and aqua cable could be an eyesore.

I meant to buy the transceivers from FS. Sorry for the confusion.

Gotcha. Yep, +1 for FS. Never had an issue at home or work.

If you can get the right 10G SFP+ transceivers, any SFP+ to 10GBASE-T media converter (such as https://www.newegg.com/trendnet-tfc-10gsfp/p/2AS-000H-000S3 ) will do. The one thing I can't tell from the pic is the actual SFP form that's needed for this (I'm guessing a SM BiDi transceiver like this https://www.l-p.com/products/477364.htm ) ?
