Bidirectional media conversion for 10 GigaBit Networks

Net Optics 10 GigaBit Converters are optimized, high-performance media converters for connecting dissimilar 10 GigaBit devices and links. Deploy these bidirectional media converters individually to connect SR and LR fiber devices, or in pairs at each end of long-distance fiber links.
These Converters are the perfect solution for dispersed networks where media conversion is required between multimode segments separated by long distances.

Ease of Use

LED indicators show link status and redundant power
XFP connectors support easy reconfiguration and redeployment
Optional 19-inch rack frame holds three Converters
Tested and compatible with all major manufacturers’ monitoring devices, including protocol analyzers, probes, and intrusion detection/prevention systems

Fast and Versatile
The 10 GigaBit Converters support seamless media conversion at 10 Gbps over link distances up to 65 meters with 50/125 multimode SR fiber and up to 10 kilometers with singlemode LR fiber. These Converters feature XFP module connectors for quick reconfiguration and redeployment.

Long Link Reliability
To control jitter over long optical links, the Converter features Clock and Data Recovery (CDR). CDR ensures that the overall jitter budget is not exceeded when deploying converter pairs with long fiber links.

Simple and Reliable
Media conversion is a snap since all network and monitoring cables necessary for plug-and-play deployment are included with the Tap. For extra uptime protection, Net Optics Converters offer redundant power connections. Should the primary power source fail, the Converter automatically switches to the backup power source with no traffic interruption.
