Mediaconverter BlueOptics BLMC011-008 10G 2x SFP+ 10000 Mbit/s

The BlueOptics BLMC011-008 10G media converter provides a compact, wired solution to convert electrical Ethernet signals to optical SFP+ connections. Designed for 10 Gigabit environments, the unit supports data rates up to 10,000 Mbit/s and includes two SFP+ fiber ports plus one copper Ethernet port. Operating at a 1310 nm wavelength with a maximum transmission distance of 30 m (depending on transceiver and cable type), this black media converter is intended for network extensions, interconnection of copper and fiber segments, and integration into unmanaged network setups.

Advantages

The BlueOptics BLMC011-008 supports high-speed 10G connectivity while maintaining compatibility with 10/100/1000 Ethernet speeds through auto-negotiation and rate conversion. Its dual SFP+ slots accept pluggable transceivers for flexible link types and distances. Built-in features such as link pass-through, fiber fault alert, auto-MDIX and remote loopback on the fiber interface improve interoperability and fault visibility between copper and fiber endpoints. Compliance with common industrial standards ensures consistent manufacturing quality and regulatory conformity.

Key specifications

How to use

Install compatible SFP+ transceivers into the two fiber slots according to the transceiver and cable specifications, then connect the fiber optic cables. Connect the copper RJ45 cable to the Ethernet LAN port and power the device following the manufacturer's instructions. The device uses auto-negotiation to detect copper port speed and performs rate conversion if required; it also detects the installed fiber transceivers and adjusts settings automatically. Observe ESD precautions when handling the unit and transceivers and consult the supplied manual for detailed installation steps and safety information.

Recommendations

Use certified SFP+ transceivers and appropriate fiber cabling for the desired reach and data rate. Ensure proper ESD protection during installation and verify link status indicators after connecting to confirm successful operation. For mixed-speed environments, allow time for auto-negotiation and check compatibility between connected devices to avoid mismatched link parameters.
