Intellinet 10GBase-T to 10GBase-R Media Converter, 1 x 10 GB SFP+ Slot, 1 x 10GB RJ45 Port

The Intellinet Network Solutions 10GBase-T to 10GBase-R Media Converter (model 508193) enables migration from copper-based Ethernet to fibre Ethernet with a single 10 Gbps RJ45 port and one 10G SFP+ slot. The compact metal-housed converter supports IEEE 802.3u and preserves existing network behaviour while adding fibre connectivity for longer links, building-to-building connections, or expanded workgroup reach without replacing current copper cabling.

Advantages

The media converter provides a transparent 10 Gbps link between copper and fibre segments, maintaining network performance while extending reach. It supports flexible cabling options, can be used in desktop, wall-mount or rack-mounted chassis installations, and includes LED indicators for link and activity. Low power consumption and a durable metal enclosure make it suitable for continuous operation.

Suitable for

• Extending Ethernet segments over fibre for increased distance
• Connecting separate buildings or remote workgroups
• Migrating portions of a network from copper to fibre without replacing existing copper runs
• Environments requiring a single 10 Gigabit fibre or copper interface (SFP+ to 10GBase-T)

How to use

Install the required SFP+ module and fibre cable into the SFP+ slot and connect the RJ45 port to the copper Ethernet device or switch using a Cat6a/Cat7 cable for 10GBase-T operation. Power the unit with the provided 12 V adapter and verify link/activity LEDs to confirm connectivity. Place the converter on a desktop, mount it on a wall, or install it in a compatible 19" rackmount chassis when multiple units are used.

Recommendations

For reliable 10 Gbit/s performance over copper, use high-quality Cat6a or Cat7 cable for runs up to 100 m and ensure the SFP+ module and fibre type (single-mode or multi-mode) match the connected fibre equipment. Keep the converter in a ventilated area and follow manufacturer guidelines for rackmount chassis capacity when deploying multiple units.
