Eaton N786-MDC-SFPSFP 10Gb SFP+ Fiber Mode Converter
Overview
The Eaton N786-MDC-SFPSFP is a high-performance fiber optic mode converter designed for extending and converting high-speed optical links in enterprise data centers, carrier networks, and high-density switching environments. It enables flexible interoperability between SFP and SFP+ transceivers while supporting long-distance fiber transport across multimode and singlemode infrastructures.
The unit supports data rates up to 10GbE and is designed for network engineers deploying scalable fiber backbones, migration from legacy links, or mixed optical environments requiring protocol and media conversion. It supports SFP/SFP+ modules and allows hot-swappable transceivers for minimal service disruption during maintenance windows.
With support for distances up to approximately 80 km depending on optics used, it is commonly deployed in metro fiber extensions, data center interconnects, and high-performance switching fabrics. The rugged metal enclosure, LED diagnostics, and DIP switch configuration make it suitable for both controlled rack environments and hardened edge deployments.
This device is not a traditional switch; it is strictly a media/mode conversion platform and requires compatible SFP/SFP+ transceivers for operation.
