They suggest these

what length do you need to send over ?

this sort of stuff is a LOT cheaper and more rugged, and more than 
capable of sending 10 MHz clock

and you just drive it with TTL.

Using cheap POF - It seems like 50m is the max for 10MHz
But i think with POF , we should be able to "do connectors at home"

Using 200 μm PCS cable , it seems you could go 120m at 50Mbd


But a 100m SC connected fiber cable was "only" like $30 on Aliexpress

They seem a "bit like" the other drivers mentioned , but starts with A 
instead of H
