Before you believe a bad review about us

We would like to respond openly to every negative review about us. Many are posted anonymously, so we cannot reach those customers directly. This open letter is our reply, and we would be grateful if you took a moment to read it.

But here is what a one-star review will never tell you:

  • We import from 70+ official distributors. That is why you pay far less than local retail — and why delivery takes longer. We publish the date before you pay, never after.
  • You can pay only when your goods land in Johannesburg. Pay on Arrival, no full payment up front. Ask yourself what scammer offers that.
  • Nobody has ever lost money with us. You get the product, or you get a refund. There is no third option, and there never has been.
  • We are part of the ITwork group — ten years trading in Europe, nine stores, thousands of positive reviews.
  • Johannesburg and Cape Town stores open this year — real shelves, real stock, walk in and buy the same day.

We are not satisfied with our review scores, and we are not going to fix them by hiding anything. We are fixing them by being faster, clearer and easier to reach than any reason to complain.

Read the full letter — photos and video of real shipments, and a straight answer to every accusation.

Problem with an order right now? Write to [email protected], [email protected] or [email protected] — answered the same business day. The letter also lists our group and store owners' contacts.
Know our brand? Leave an honest review, send us a screenshot, and pick a free gift — shipped free of charge within 1–2 business days.
Pay the courier with no extra fees.

Convert and extend a Gigabit Ethernet connection up to 24.8 miles (40km) over Single Mode LC fiber.

This Gigabit Ethernet to fiber media converter offers a reliable way to extend your network up to 40 km (24.8 mi.) using single-mode LC fiber, providing increased range, enhanced security, and reduced interference compared to copper-based connections. It's TAA compliant and designed for government and commercial applications where long-distance and rack-mountable fiber access is needed.

Built for Versatility and Performance

Convert 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 to Gigabit LC fiber using a media converter that complies with IEEE 802.3 standards. It supports full/half duplex, auto-negotiation, MDI/MDI-X, and 9K jumbo frames for high-performance networking in mixed copper-fiber environments.

Smart Diagnostics and Rugged Design

Built with a compact full metal chassis, this converter includes LED indicators for power and link activity, plus a DIP switch to enable Link Fault Passthrough (LFP) with LLCF/LLR for easier network troubleshooting and reliability.

Flexible Installation for Any Network Setup

Deploy in minutes with plug-and-play setup and multiple mounting options including wall-mount, DIN-rail, or media chassis installation. It includes a 5V DC, 2A power adapter, making it ideal for server rooms or network closets.
