Prepare your network for the future
If your existing network consists of RJ45 copper-based devices and cables, you might not be ready for future
network expansion. Because the newest fiber-based network switches feature SFP+ ports more often than RJ45
ports, you might need a converter to bridge your copper and fiber networks together.
This versatile fiber media converter is the perfect way to add users and devices to your network, now or in the
future, while simultaneously interfacing your copper and fiber network mediums.
The ET10GSFP is backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.
Applications
