10GBase-T to Fiber Media Converter

The Transition Networks C4120-1048 converts 10 Gigabit Ethernet signals between 10GBase-T copper and 10GBase-X fiber. It is built for network engineers extending links beyond copper distance limits in enterprise or data-centre environments.

SFP+ slot for plug-and-play deployment

The unit accepts a single SFP+ transceiver, so installation is a matter of inserting the module and connecting the cables. The main difficulty is matching the transceiver wavelength and fiber type to the link budget; a mismatch will prevent the link from coming up.

Verify copper run length

Confirm that the existing copper segment does not exceed the 10GBase-T reach and that the fiber route supports the chosen transceiver distance. The converter requires a compatible SFP+ module, which is not included, and an available power source for the chassis.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the C4120-1048 is converting 10GBase-T to fiber correctly after installation?

Confirm the SFP+ module is seated, then check that the port status LEDs on both the copper and fiber sides show an active 10 Gigabit Ethernet link.

What comes with the C4120-1048 and what must I purchase separately?

The converter includes one SFP+ expansion slot; you must supply a compatible 10GBase-X SFP+ transceiver and fiber patch cable.

Which C4120 model should I choose for a 10GBase-T to fiber link?

Select the C4120-1048 when you need a single-slot internal media converter that bridges 10GBase-T copper to 10GBase-X fiber via an SFP+ slot.
