Thanks to all who responded to my clumsy first question (both on matters of etiquette and technology). The group I work with (we are a small project acting as a last mile provider) was in the midst of deploying this solution when I posed the question. We put the single mode Juniper SFPs (LX) on to a run of approximately 1670 meters.
How did you end up with a MM run this long? SX optics are only rated at 500 meters at best. Even with mode conditioning jumpers more the 1km is a risk. I'm glad it held up during testing though. Just out of curiosity did you purchase dark from a provider? Is it inside of a building?
In my case, it was installed for compatibility with FDDI, and used mostly for 10BASE-FL and 100BASE-FX, which work up to 1 or 2km, until we started using it for 1000BASE-LX.
