STARTECH MCM10G6SSFP 10GbE SFP+ Media Converter

Copper-to-fiber conversion for mixed-speed networks

The MCM10G6SSFP converts 100Mbps to 10GBASE-T copper links into 10G fiber using an open SFP+ slot. It accepts both single-mode and multi-mode transceivers for flexible reach across enterprise or telecom environments. Designed for IT professionals managing structured wiring closets, server rooms, or remote upgrades, it delivers plug-and-play operation with auto-negotiation across 100M, 1, 2.5, 5, and 10Gbps copper speeds. The compact standalone unit measures 2.8 by 3.7 by 1.0 inches and weighs 6.4 ounces.

Replaces fixed-transceiver converters

This unit replaces media converters locked to a specific fiber type or speed, letting you choose the SFP+ transceiver that matches the link distance and mode. The jump is worth it when you need one device that handles legacy 100M connections and modern multi-gigabit copper up to 10G without replacing hardware. It supports 16K Jumbo Frames and full-duplex flow control per IEEE 802.3, simplifying deployment across networks with mixed generations of switches and endpoints. No PoE support is included, so plan power separately for attached devices.

Sustained operation at 3.75W typical in 0°C

Under continuous load the converter draws a typical 3.75W from its 5V DC input, supplied by the included adapter or a compatible chassis power supply. It is rated for 0°C to 50°C operating temperatures without active cooling, making it suitable for enclosed racks, wall mounts, or DIN rail installations in power-sensitive spaces. LED indicators provide link and speed diagnostics at a glance. The low power profile and fanless design support 24/7 uptime in edge and on-prem deployments where airflow is limited.
