10 Gigabit Ethernet Copper-to-Fiber Media Converter the Open SFP+ slot is Compatible with most 10Gbps SFP+ Modules

Product Information

Specification

10 Gigabit Ethernet Copper-to-Fiber Media Converter the Open SFP+ slot is Compatible with most 10 Gbps SFP+ modules.

Applications:

• Open SFP slot lets you customize your connection mode or distance using most MSA-compliant transceivers
• Transmit full 10 Gigabit network speeds to remote areas over longer distances than copper (RJ45) cabling
• Use the fiber-optic cable to extend or bridge your network to a separate building
• Install a second converter card using a compatible StarTech.com ET91000 series media card module (for example, ET91000SFP2C—sold separately)

Description:

This 10GbE fiber media converter offers a cost-effective way to extend your network by converting copper to fiber or fiber to copper, using the 10Gb SFP+ transceiver that best matches your distance and network requirements. Providing fast, reliable connectivity over longer distances than copper-based solutions, it’s an ideal choice for server rooms, remote workstations, or inter-building connections within a 10 Gb network infrastructure.

Expand your high-speed network over longer distances

This high-performance fiber media converter integrates nicely into a variety of 10 Gigabit networks. And, because the card supports up to 10 Gbps throughput, you can quickly bridge your traditional 10 Gb copper (RJ45)-based network across long distances using fiber-optic cable.

Now you can transfer large files and access high-bandwidth multimedia content in less time, even in remote locations.

Use the SFP+ transceiver that’s best for you

With an open SFP+ slot, the 10GbE media converter adapts to your network connection and distance requirements. Plus, because it’s compatible with most, it offers more possibilities for connecting devices and users to your network. With support for a wide range of transceivers, the network converter is ideal for dynamic, high-performance data centers.

Simple network management and diagnostics

The 10 Gigabit fiber media converter offers built-in management functionality, so you can quickly yet effectively manage and customize your network settings through the local serial console port.

Prepare your network for the future

If your existing network consists of RJ45 copper-based devices and cables, you might not be ready for future network expansion. Because the newest fiber-based network switches feature SFP+ ports more often than RJ45 ports, you might need a converter to bridge your copper and fiber networks together.

This versatile fiber media converter is the perfect way to add users and devices to your network, now or in the future, while simultaneously interfacing your copper and fiber network mediums.
