LevelOne convertitore di media RJ45 su SFP+ 10 Gigabit

The LevelOne GVT-2051 is a 10-Gigabit media converter that links copper and fiber optic networks. It features one multi-rate RJ45 port (1000M/2.5G/5G/10G) and one SFP+ slot (10G/5G/2.5G/1000M) for flexible connectivity in compact black housing. The converter supports 10GBase-T and common IEEE Ethernet standards and is intended for wired network applications requiring high-speed uplinks and fiber access.

Advantages

The device provides flexible media conversion between 10GBase-T copper and SFP+ fiber, supporting multiple Ethernet speeds for compatibility with diverse equipment. Its compact dimensions and low typical power consumption make it suitable for dense installations and edge deployments. SFP+ support allows use of various compatible fiber modules, enabling adaptable fiber link distances and types.

Suitable for

• Connecting servers, switches or routers to fiber uplinks
• Extending network links over fiber for surveillance and access networks
• Integrating copper devices into fiber infrastructure in data centers or wiring closets

How to use

Install a compatible SFP+ fiber module into the SFP+ slot and connect the fiber cable. Connect copper devices using a Cat6a/Cat7 cable to the RJ45 10GBase-T port. Provide 5 V DC power (2 A adapter) to the unit. Ensure link speeds on connected devices are configured to match the converter's supported rates (auto-negotiation will select the highest common speed). Monitor link LEDs to verify proper operation.

Recommendations

Use shielded Ethernet cabling (Cat6a or better) for 10GBase-T copper connections and select SFP+ transceivers compatible with the desired fiber type and distance. Place the converter in a ventilated location and observe manufacturer guidelines for power supply and environmental conditions.
