LogiLink 2,5 Gigabit mediaconverter RJ45 naar SFP

Modern networks often hit a bottleneck when connecting legacy copper infrastructure to high-speed fibre backbones. The LogiLink 2.5 Gigabit Media Converter bridges that gap, converting a 2.5GBase-T RJ45 copper connection to a 2.5GBase-X SFP fibre link. This compact, metal-housed device enables seamless integration of 2.5G Ethernet equipment into fibre optic networks without replacing existing switches or NICs.

Who is it for

Network administrators, IT integrators, and small-to-medium businesses seeking a cost-effective way to extend network reach or connect copper-based 2.5G devices to fibre infrastructure. It is ideal for upgrading backbone links, connecting servers or NAS units to fibre switches, and deploying high-speed connections in campus or enterprise environments.

Tips

For optimal performance, use a compatible 2.5G SFP module (sold separately) and ensure both ends of the fibre link support the same speed and wavelength. Place the converter in a well-ventilated area to maintain operating temperature. The metal housing provides durability, but avoid exposure to moisture or extreme conditions.
