Distance about 1500'. This will be how we get Internet so bandwidth usage will probably not exceed 2Mbps. (It goes to a tower to receive from our WISP). And budget is definitely more important than buying something "enterprise" grade.

What connectors should I use (e.g. SC, ST)?
What wavelength fiber should I use (62.5, 125)?
How many spare fibers should I buy?

Any opinions on media converters? I took a quick stab and found a couple of lower-end units:
»www.mwave.com/mwave/viewspec_v2.···=4772824
»www.mwave.com/mwave/viewspec_v2.···=4716732

The far end will be solar powered so it would be nice to find something that ran on 24VDC.
