Yes, the 40D is recognised.

Basically it is media converter with 4 USB ports that has an RJ45 connection but is actually ethernet and not using the twisted pairs inside like a balanced extender. Then we have a Moxa RJ45 to fibre via LC connectors from memory. The LC fibre connectors patch to our 16 way fobot and then multimode 62.5/100 fibre down to the other building and then the setup is reversed.

What I do not know is if software was installed to drive the USB to ethernet hub. We do get reliability out of this and I can find out more.
