We have been using the Digital DEREP fiber repeaters for close to two years
without problem.  The fiber has withstood both nature and man made electrical
surge (we have a plasma physics group next door).  Our installation has over
120 machines connected thru a "virtual" ethernet composed of broadband,
baseband and fiber.
