BlueOptics 10G Ethernet Media Converter 2x SFP+ 10000 Mbit/s 1550 nm Black

The BlueOptics 10G Ethernet Media Converter is a compact, wired solution designed to convert copper Ethernet signals to fiber optic links. It provides two SFP+ fiber ports and one RJ‑45 copper port, supporting Ethernet LAN data rates of 10, 100, 1000 and 10000 Mbit/s and a maximum throughput of 10000 Mbit/s. Using 10GBASE‑ER fiber technology and a 1550 nm wavelength, the unit supports multimode or singlemode SFP+ transceivers for link distances up to 30 m with the configured transceiver. The converter is housed in a black enclosure and is intended for integration into unmanaged network environments where straightforward rate conversion and fiber extension are required.

Advantages

The media converter supports auto‑negotiation and automatic rate conversion between copper and fiber interfaces, and recognizes the inserted SFP+ transceivers to adjust link parameters accordingly. It includes features such as link pass‑through, fiber fault alert, auto‑MDIX and a remote loopback function on the fiber interface to simplify diagnostics and interoperability. The compact design and standard industrial compliance facilitate straightforward deployment with existing network equipment.

Suitable for

• Extending network segments from copper to fiber in LAN installations
• Connecting 10G servers, switches or storage targets over fiber
• Replacing or augmenting legacy copper cabling to increase bandwidth
• Unmanaged environments requiring simple media conversion and link diagnostics

How to use

Install compatible SFP+ transceivers into the fiber slots and connect the fiber cables to the transceivers, then connect the RJ‑45 cable to the copper port. Power the unit according to the supplied power adapter or system rack requirements. The device will automatically detect the copper link speed and the installed fiber transceivers and perform rate conversion. Use the link status indicators to verify connectivity and employ the remote loopback or fiber fault alert features for basic troubleshooting. Refer to the supplied manual for detailed installation steps and ESD precautions before handling transceivers.

Recommendations

Use OEM‑compatible SFP+ transceivers rated for 1550 nm and appropriate singlemode fiber for longer reach; verify transceiver compatibility with your network equipment. Observe ESD protection when handling optical transceivers and follow the manufacturer’s guidance for grounding and power input to ensure reliable operation.
