Introduction
Net Optics 10 GigaBit Converters are optimized, high-performance media converters for connecting dissimilar 10
GigaBit devices and links. Deploy these bidirectional media converters individually to connect SR and LR ber
devices, or in pairs at each end of long-distance ber links. These Converters are the perfect solution for dispersed
networks where media conversion is required between multimode segments separated by long distances.
Fast and Versatile
The 10 GigaBit Converters support seamless media conversion at 10 Gbps over link distances up to 65 meters with
50/125 multimode SR ber and up to 10 kilometers with singlemode LR ber. These Converters feature XFP module
connectors for quick reconguration and redeployment.
Long Link Reliability
To control jitter over long optical links, the Converter features Clock and Data Recovery (CDR). CDR ensures that the
overall jitter budget is not exceeded when deploying converter pairs with long ber links.
Simple and Reliable
Media conversion is a snap since all network and monitoring cables necessary for plug-and-play deployment are
included with the Tap. For extra uptime protection, Net Optics Converters offer redundant power connections. Should
the primary power source fail, the Converter automatically switches to the backup power source with no trafc
interruption.
