Know before you buy
No, this device features an open SFP slot. You will need to purchase a compatible 10G SFP+ transceiver separately based on your specific fiber type and distance requirements.
Yes, this converter is designed specifically to bridge 10GBase-T copper Ethernet to fiber optic lines. It allows you to extend your high-speed copper network over long-distance fiber cabling.
The maximum distance depends on the SFP module you install. When paired with the appropriate Singlemode fiber transceiver, it can support data transmission distances of up to 80km.
Yes, it supports both fiber types. Your choice of fiber depends on the SFP+ module you select for the open slot.
No, the durable metal housing is specifically engineered to dissipate heat efficiently on its own. It is designed for stable, reliable operation in standard networking environments without the need for external cooling.
Yes, the device supports hot plugging, which allows you to replace or swap SFP modules without needing to power down the converter.
