In general, I recommend multimode. It is a far more reliable connection and works at gigabit ethernet speeds (1000base T) for hundreds of meters. Use glass fibers, not plastic. Multimode is readily available in glass (Corning and others) and can be purchased from many sources. This is another world of specs, connector standards and so forth.

I ordered several cables and SFP's via Amazon to see which one may work.
That link you sent me displays over 100 cables.
I don't know which is compatible with the SFP's that Stephen suggested, but I hope one of the ones I ordered from Amazon works and will return what doesn't work, thanks to Amazon free returns.
I would appreciate a specific link to a specific cable and SFP's that I can order, if these from Amazon do not work.
But I will let you know when I receive the Amazon order if I get it to work or not.
Many thanks!
Fred
