10G Ethernet-mediaconverter BlueOptics BLMC011-005 10000 Mbit/s 1550 nm zwart

The BlueOptics BLMC011-005 10G Ethernet Media Converter converts copper Ethernet signals to optical signals using SFP+ transceivers and supports data rates up to 10,000 Mbit/s. Designed for integration into unmanaged networks and for extending existing cabling infrastructure, this compact black media converter offers two SFP+ slots and a single RJ-45 copper port. It supports multiple Ethernet LAN speeds (10/100/1000/10000) and a fiber wavelength of 1550 nm, with a maximum single-segment transfer distance of 30 m when used with appropriate modules and cables.

Advantages

The device performs automatic rate conversion and auto-negotiation between copper and fiber interfaces and supports auto-MDIX to detect and correct cable type without manual crossover. It provides features such as link pass-through and fiber fault alert to reflect fiber link status on the copper port and inform connected devices of receiver faults. The unit accepts pluggable SFP+ modules for flexible fiber connector choices and supports a remote loopback function on the fiber interface for basic diagnostics. Compliance with common industrial standards ensures consistent manufacturing quality.

Key specifications

How to use

Install compatible SFP+ transceivers into the SFP+ slots before connecting fiber cables. Connect the RJ-45 copper port to your Ethernet device using a Cat6A or higher patch cable for full 10G performance. The media converter will perform auto-negotiation and rate conversion automatically; ensure ESD precautions when handling the unit and transceivers. For detailed installation steps and safety instructions, refer to the manufacturer manual supplied with the device.

Recommendations

Use certified SFP+ transceivers and appropriate fiber patch cables for the required wavelength and distance. For 10G links, use Cat6A or higher copper cabling on the RJ-45 side and verify compatibility of transceivers with connected equipment. Observe ESD protection during installation and place the converter in a ventilated environment to avoid overheating.
