BlueOptics 10G Ethernet Media Converter 2x SFP+ 10000 Mbit/s 850 nm Black

The BlueOptics 10G Ethernet Media Converter 2x SFP+ is a wired connectivity device designed to convert electrical Ethernet signals to optical fiber and vice versa. It features two SFP+ fiber ports and one copper RJ-45 port, supporting Ethernet LAN data rates of 10, 100, 1000 and 10000 Mbit/s and a maximum data transfer rate of 10000 Mbit/s. The converter is built for short-range multimode fiber links using 850 nm wavelength transceivers and supports 10GBASE-SR operation with a maximum link distance of approximately 30 m. The unit is finished in black and intended for integration into unmanaged or existing network infrastructures that require a compact fiber-to-copper conversion solution.

Advantages

The media converter provides transparent rate conversion between copper and fiber interfaces and supports automatic detection of connected SFP+ transceivers, enabling plug-and-play operation without manual configuration. It implements auto-negotiation and auto-MDIX on the copper port, plus link pass-through and fiber fault alert functions to relay connection status and faults between interfaces. The converter’s two SFP+ slots allow flexible choice of optical transceivers and cabling types while preserving existing copper equipment and extending network reach with fiber.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the BlueOptics media converter on a stable surface or in a suitable rack location and observe ESD precautions when handling the unit and optical transceivers. Insert compatible SFP+ transceivers into the fiber slots and connect LC duplex multimode fiber cables to the transceivers; connect the copper RJ-45 port to the network device using appropriate Cat6A or higher cable for 10G operation. Power the unit and monitor link LEDs to verify successful link establishment. The converter will automatically detect copper port speed, negotiate link parameters and adapt to the inserted SFP+ transceiver speed where applicable.

Recommendations

Use certified multimode fiber and compatible 850 nm SFP+ transceivers rated for 10GBASE-SR to achieve the specified maximum distance and performance. Maintain proper fiber handling and cleanliness to avoid signal loss; follow the manufacturer’s manual for installation and ESD protection. For reliable 10G copper connections, use Cat6A or better shielded cable and ensure connector integrity. In installations requiring longer distances or single-mode fiber, choose SFP+ transceivers and cabling appropriate to that application.
