The fibreSales SFP Media Converter combines 2 × RJ45 copper Ethernet ports with 4 × SFP slots, creating a flexible platform for integrating copper Ethernet equipment with fibre optic network infrastructure.
The converter supports 10/100/1000Base-TX copper Ethernet and 1000Base-FX fibre. Installers can select compatible SFP modules according to the required fibre type, wavelength and transmission distance.
fibreSales supplies this media converter without SFP modules, so order the required SFPs separately. This modular approach lets network designers configure the four SFP slots for each installation rather than rely on fixed optical interfaces.
With the appropriate SFP modules and fibre infrastructure, the converter can support transmission applications from approximately 550 metres to 120 kilometres across Multimode or Singlemode fibre.
A multi-port SFP Media Converter provides interfaces for connecting copper Ethernet equipment with fibre optic network infrastructure.
This fibreSales model features:
2 × RJ45 copper Ethernet ports + 4 × SFP fibre slots
The copper interfaces support 10/100/1000Base-TX, while the SFP slots support 1000Base-FX fibre connectivity through compatible modules.
Rather than incorporating fixed optical transceivers, the converter uses interchangeable SFP modules.
The converter provides four SFP slots, giving installers greater flexibility than a single-interface media converter.
Installers can choose compatible SFP modules according to the fibre infrastructure and transmission requirements.
Each installed SFP determines:
This modular arrangement suits networks that require multiple fibre connections from one device.

Choose this fibreSales Multi-Port SFP Media Converter when you require 2 × 10/100/1000Base-TX RJ45 connections together with up to 4 × configurable SFP fibre interfaces.
Select the SFP modules separately according to fibre type, wavelength and required transmission distance.
Two RJ45 ports provide copper Ethernet connectivity for compatible network equipment.
The copper interfaces support:
Having two RJ45 ports provides additional connectivity flexibility compared with conventional single-RJ45 media converters.
Compatible Ethernet switches, network equipment and other copper devices can therefore connect through the RJ45 interfaces while the SFP slots provide the corresponding fibre connectivity.
Four SFP slots provide the optical interfaces for the converter.
Using interchangeable modules means the fibre specification is not permanently fixed within the media converter itself.
Instead, the selected SFPs establish the required optical characteristics.
This configuration provides flexibility for:
Always confirm that the selected SFP modules are compatible with the converter and the optical equipment at the opposite end of each link.
With the appropriate SFP modules and fibre infrastructure, transmission applications can range from approximately:
550 metres to 120 kilometres
Shorter-distance applications can use suitable Multimode fibre modules, while longer links can use compatible Singlemode SFPs.
Actual transmission capability depends on:
Therefore, transmission distance should always be assessed as part of the complete fibre channel.
The converter provides the interface between copper Ethernet equipment and fibre optic network connections.
A simplified network arrangement may look like:
Copper Ethernet Equipment → RJ45 Port → fibreSales Media Converter → SFP Slot → Fibre Network
With four SFP slots available, multiple optical interfaces can be accommodated within the same converter.
The actual fibre characteristics of each optical connection depend on the SFP module installed.
Traditional media converters often provide one copper interface and one fixed or modular fibre interface.
This fibreSales model provides:
2 RJ45 ports + 4 SFP slots
As a result, the device can provide a more flexible connection point where several fibre interfaces need to integrate with copper Ethernet infrastructure.
Potential applications include:
The copper Ethernet interfaces support Auto MDI/MDIX.
This function automatically accommodates the transmit and receive pair arrangement of compatible Ethernet connections.
Consequently, network installation becomes simpler because the RJ45 interfaces can adapt to the connected copper Ethernet equipment.
Auto MDI/MDIX can be particularly useful during equipment replacement, network upgrades and troubleshooting.
The converter incorporates 128 K of data buffer RAM.
Buffer memory temporarily manages Ethernet data while traffic moves through the device. This function supports data handling between the network interfaces during normal operation.
A built-in watchdog timer provides internal operational monitoring.
The watchdog supports device reliability by helping the converter recover from certain abnormal operating conditions.
For network infrastructure expected to operate continuously, this feature provides an additional level of operational support.
The media converter provides up to six LED indicators for visual status information.
Technicians can use the indicators during:
Visible status information can make it easier to identify connection or operating issues directly at the converter.
The modular SFP architecture allows the converter to support both Multimode and Singlemode fibre applications with the appropriate modules.
Compatible Multimode SFPs can support shorter-distance fibre connections, including applications around the specified 550-metre range where the module and installed fibre support that distance.
Compatible Singlemode SFPs provide options for significantly longer links, with supported configurations extending to 120 km.
Because the converter is supplied without SFPs, the optical modules can be chosen specifically for the project.

Because SFP modules are not included, selecting the correct optical modules is an important part of configuring the converter.
Consider the following requirements before ordering.
Determine whether each optical link uses Multimode fibre or Singlemode fibre.
Calculate the required fibre distance and select an SFP rated appropriately for that link.
Confirm that the optical interfaces at both ends of each fibre link use compatible wavelengths.
The converter supports LC SFP modules, so corresponding fibre connectivity should match the selected module.
Longer fibre links should be assessed using the complete optical loss budget rather than distance alone.
Fibre attenuation, connectors, splices and patching all contribute to total channel loss.
| Network Requirement | SFP Selection |
|---|---|
| Shorter Multimode Link | Compatible Multimode LC SFP |
| Longer Singlemode Link | Compatible Singlemode LC SFP |
| Specific Wavelength | Select corresponding LC SFP |
| Extended Distance | Select SFP rated for required range |
| Up to 120 km Application | Compatible long-distance Singlemode SFP |
The exact optical module should always be selected according to the complete network specification.

A modular SFP design provides greater flexibility than permanently fixed optical interfaces.
| Feature | SFP-Based Converter | Fixed Optical Interface |
|---|---|---|
| Optical Module | Replaceable | Fixed |
| Wavelength | Determined by SFP | Predetermined |
| Transmission Distance | Determined by SFP | Predetermined |
| MMF/SMF Selection | Based on installed SFP | Model specific |
| Future Configuration | More flexible | Limited by fixed interface |
With four SFP slots available, this flexibility becomes particularly useful where several fibre links need to be configured from one device.
Consider a site where copper Ethernet equipment needs to connect with several fibre network links.
The network equipment connects to the fibreSales Media Converter through its RJ45 interfaces. Compatible SFP modules are then installed in the required SFP slots according to the optical network design.
Each fibre link can subsequently connect to compatible remote equipment through the selected optical interface.
This arrangement allows copper Ethernet infrastructure to integrate with multiple fibre connections without requiring fixed optical interfaces inside the media converter.
SFP modules are not supplied with this converter. Order the required modules separately.
Match each SFP to the Multimode or Singlemode fibre used by the corresponding link.
Different SFP modules support different transmission distances. Check the actual fibre length before selecting the module.
Optical interfaces at both ends of a link must be compatible.
The installed SFP dictates the wavelength and transmission distance.
Distance alone does not determine whether a fibre link will operate correctly. Account for fibre attenuation and connection losses across the complete channel.
Clean fibre connections remain important regardless of the selected SFP or transmission distance.
Contamination on LC connector end faces can introduce additional optical loss and affect network reliability. Therefore, inspect and clean fibre connectors whenever required before mating them with the SFP modules.
