1G/2.5G/5G/10GBASE-T to 10G SFP+ Media Converter
Standalone media converter with one auto-negotiating 1G/2.5G/5G/10GBASE-T RJ45 port and one open 10G SFP+ slot for copper-to-fiber network extension.
MULTI-GIG COPPER TO 10G FIBER
1G / 2.5G / 5G / 10GBASE-T RJ45 · Open 10G SFP+ slot
A compact standalone converter for connecting a multi-gigabit copper endpoint to a 10G optical link. Select the SFP+ module separately for the required fiber type, wavelength and reach.
Choose it when the interfaces do not match
Copper side
One RJ45 port negotiates 1G, 2.5G, 5G or 10G with the connected copper device.
Fiber side
One open 10G SFP+ slot accepts the optical type selected for the actual link.
Typical use
Extend a multi-gig copper handoff over multimode, single-mode, BiDi or wavelength-selective fiber.
Confirm first
Endpoint rate, copper cabling, SFP+ type, fiber path, power plug and operating environment.

Four checks before deployment
Lock the copper rate. Confirm the NIC, switch or router port can negotiate the required 1G, 2.5G, 5G or 10G speed and that the copper cable supports it.
Select both optics together. Match rate, fiber mode, reach, wavelength or BiDi pair, connector and remote endpoint.
Review the complete path. Include patch cords, splices, panels, attenuation and engineering margin, not only the nominal route length.
Plan power and ventilation. Confirm the country plug, supply input and a location with adequate airflow.
Frequently asked questions
Does the RJ45 port always run at 10Gbps?
No. It negotiates 1G, 2.5G, 5G or 10G with the copper endpoint. Confirm the actual endpoint rate and cable before ordering.
Is the SFP+ transceiver included?
The converter uses an open SFP+ slot. Quote the transceiver separately or as a matched bundle after the fiber type, reach, wavelength and remote interface are known.
Can it convert 2.5G or 5G copper to a 10G optical link?
That is the intended reference profile. Confirm the connected equipment's negotiation behavior and validate the complete link before deployment.
Which copper cable should be used?
Cable category and permitted length depend on the negotiated BASE-T speed and installation quality. State the required rate and actual copper run in the RFQ.
Can the fiber side use multimode, single-mode or BiDi optics?
The open slot allows different 10G SFP+ types, but both endpoints must match the installed fiber, wavelength plan, connector and optical budget.
Does an open SFP+ slot guarantee every module will work?
No. Confirm the module's electrical interface, rate, power requirements and optical specification. Axonode can coordinate the converter and optics as one BOM.
What should be checked if the link negotiates below the expected rate?
Check both endpoint capabilities, port settings, copper cable category and length, connector quality, the selected SFP+ module and link alarms.
What details are needed for a matched quotation?
Provide both endpoint models, copper rate and run, fiber type and route length, required wavelength or BiDi pair, connector, power plug, quantity and schedule.
Build the converter and optics as one link
Send the copper endpoint and rate, remote optical endpoint, cable and fiber details, required reach, connector, power-plug country, quantity and delivery target.
