Single fiber connector, bidirectional, WDM. These people sell the PAIR for $22.

Apparently they will work on multimode fiber too, for a short (like



100 m) run. SFP receivers have a huge AGC range so the light loss is OK.



I bought about 20 of them for $2 each awhile back. (Used, obviously.)

A new, high-end 10Gbit pair from Amazon is $49. Think about all the stuff inside two of those.
