Copper-to-fiber bridge for network managers

This media converter links a 10/100/1000Base-TX copper segment to an SFP fiber transceiver, extending Ethernet beyond the standard 100 m copper limit. It suits administrators who need to join remote workgroups or connect separate buildings without adding routers. The RJ45 port auto-negotiates speed and supports Auto MDI/MDI-X for straight-through or crossover cables. An SFP module is not included and must be chosen for the required fiber type and distance.

Plug-and-play with chassis option

Installation requires only the supplied 12 V DC external adapter and a compatible SFP module inserted into the front slot; no software configuration is needed. Status LEDs show power, link activity, duplex state and a dedicated 1000 Mbps indicator for the copper port. The unit can operate standalone on a desktop or be mounted in the 14-slot 19-inch rack chassis model 507356 for high-density deployments. Verify that the selected SFP module matches the fiber core size and wavelength before powering up.

Continuous line-rate operation

The converter forwards traffic at full 1000 Mbps wire speed and supports jumbo frames up to 9 kBytes, so sustained throughput matches the connected link capacity. Maximum power draw is 5 watts, and the fanless enclosure operates reliably from 0 to 50 °C with 10 to 80 % non-condensing humidity. No throttling or performance degradation occurs during prolonged high-load periods, making it suitable for always-on backbone links between switches or media converters.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the 510493 is converting traffic correctly after connecting the RJ45 and SFP ports?

The Power LED should stay solid, the RJ45 Link/Activity LED will blink at 1000 Mbps when a Cat5e or better cable is linked, and the fiber port Link LED will light when a compatible SFP module establishes a connection.

What does the 510493 package include and which SFP module must I purchase separately?

The box contains the media converter, a 12 V DC 1.2 A external power adapter, and instructions. Any Gigabit 1.25 G SFP transceiver — multimode or single-mode — must be bought separately.

Which SFP module type should I select for the 510493 converter?

Choose a Gigabit 1.25 G Mini GBIC SFP module; multimode for short-range fiber runs or single-mode for long-distance links, matching the fiber cable you plan to use.
