I need a fiber converter that takes
            single mode LC fiber from the patch to a gigabit port on the switch. I've been
            investigating the Canary GFT-1036, but am having a difficult time finding a vendor my
            university can purchase from. Are there any alternative products that anyone has/is
            using to offer up some ideas? 
Copper to
            LC single-mode is a pretty common combination. Easiest approach, particularly if you're
            limited in vendors, would be to get a switch with SFP ports and a suitable single-mode
            SFP module. (There are applications where you want a more transparent solution; adding
            more switches can sometimes be a problem. In that case, then you'll want a media
            converter -- I'd recommend one that takes SFPs, as you get more flexibility to switch or
            replace optics.)
