Optical / copper integrated converter | SFP → RJ45 | 10/100/1000 Mbps | 1.25 Gb/s | Hot-plug function | metal enclosure
Code: SM220An SFP converter designed to convert an optical (SFP) interface into a standard copper LAN (RJ45) connection. This module allows easy connection of network equipment with an SFP slot to a conventional Ethernet cable (Cat 5 / Cat 5e), ensuring stable and reliable data transmission up to 1.25 Gb/s in both directions.
Thanks to hot-plug support, low power consumption, and a fully metal enclosure, the converter is an excellent solution for home networks as well as professional IT, industrial, and infrastructure projects.
