We are using these fiber modules http://www.provantage.com/trendnet-teg-mgbsx~7TDWG016.htm in a mix of Netgear GS110 and GS724 switches with multimode fiber.  I have yet to see the Yamaha recommended terminology used in the specs of any of the fiber transceiver modules I have researched.  A triple hop ( console switch to RIO switch to remote LS9 switch ) is the most I have had occasion to employ as yet so perhaps a more complex set up may reveal flaws in my selection.

( Yes, its the real world with real names here, not net anonymity )

Its good to see that the lower priced transceivers are working then.

To be clear, when it comes to media converters, compatibility with the switch is the issue. They are all transparent as far as Dante is concerned as they are OSI Layer 1 devices (they just convert an electrical signal to an optical one on the 'Physical Layer'. They don't care what the electrical signal is).

Pretty much all the SFP fibre media converters in the world are made by Finisar, and they re-badged by different companies.

In order to make tons of money, companies like Cisco and HP only allow use of their own branded SFPs. They do this because the SFP standard allows for an ID bit that is read by the switch. Manufacturers can use this ID to discriminate against third party SFPs.

Always nice when someone who actually knows what they're talking about chimes in.  Yamaha's mini 'tutorial' on networking for audio really is a bit too dumbed down.

Chris thank you for the explanation.
