Hi @Jnyberg,

This looks great - thanks for sharing! 😃

Out of interest, do you have some sense of how your SVS-209 converter compares to [this one](https://discuss.bluerobotics.com/t/optic-fiber-to-ethernet-converter-board-for-rov/11020/15) from @DeepWaterExploration, and [the DeltaROV one](http://www.deltarov.com/new/product-category/rov-accessories/communication/) (from @etienne)? At a glance it seems like yours is a converter and ethernet switch combined into a single board, presumably at the expense of a larger board area, but I’m curious if there are particular feature differences that should be considered in a tradeoff.

Of course you’re providing a full kit/upgrade here, not just the conversion board. It’s definitely a neat value add to be able to get a full system that should “just work”, rather than needing to determine which other parts should go with it and then source them independently. I’ve [made a note](https://github.com/bluerobotics/ardusub-zola/issues/101) to add this to [our hardware docs](https://docs.bluerobotics.com/ardusub-zola/hardware/recommended/tether-interface/) 🙂
