10 Gigabit Media Converter | 1-RJ45 Ethernet Port | 1-SFP+ Fiber Port

10 Gigabit Copper-to-Fiber Media Conversion

The VERSITRON M7280 converts 10/100/1G/10G Ethernet signals from copper twisted-pair cabling to 10Gbps fiber through an SFP+ interface. The copper port supports Cat5e or higher UTP cable up to 100 meters, while the 10G SFP+ slot provides flexible fiber connectivity using the appropriate SFP+ transceiver.

This architecture allows organizations to extend high-speed Ethernet networks over fiber without replacing existing copper-connected equipment.

Flexible 10G Fiber Connectivity

The M7280 uses a 10G SFP+ compliant fiber interface, supporting both multimode and single-mode fiber. SFP+ modules can be selected according to the required fiber type and transmission distance.

Available VERSITRON SFP+ modules include:

*Distance varies by multimode fiber type. The datasheet specifies 30m for 62.5µm fiber, 80m for 50µm fiber, and 300m for OM3.

SFP+ modules are interchangeable, allowing the M7280 to be configured for the fiber type and transmission distance required by the network.

Full Wire-Speed 10G Conversion

The M7280 is designed for full wire-speed conversion between copper and fiber interfaces. Its store-and-forward architecture provides a forwarding rate of 14,880,000 packets per second with a forwarding delay of less than 5µs.

The converter also supports jumbo packets up to 9K bytes, helping accommodate applications that transmit large volumes of data.

Automatic Network Configuration

The M7280 simplifies installation through automatic network configuration features.

The copper interface supports:

• Auto-negotiation
• Auto MDI/MDI-X
• 10/100/1G/10G operation
• Duplex and flow-control auto-negotiation

These features help the converter integrate with existing Ethernet equipment without requiring manual crossover cable configuration.

Built-In Monitoring and Protection

The M7280 includes a watchdog function designed to help maintain reliable operation. LED indicators provide local visibility into power, copper link/activity, copper port speed, fiber link/activity, and fiber signal status.

The converter also incorporates electrical protection features, including:

• IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 ESD protection
• 2kV copper-port surge protection
• 4kV power surge protection
• Free-fall protection

Multiple Installation Options

The compact M7280 can be deployed as a standalone converter or integrated into existing equipment infrastructure.

Installation options include:

• Desktop
• Wall Mount
• DIN Rail with optional mounting
• MCC-14R 14-slot media converter chassis

The converter measures 3.74 × 2.79 × 1.06 inches and weighs approximately 7.05 ounces, making it suitable for installations where space is limited.

Designed for High-Bandwidth Network Applications

The M7280 is well suited for networks where 10Gbps copper-to-fiber conversion is required, including:

• High-resolution IP video surveillance
• Data center connectivity
• Campus network extensions
• Enterprise network backbones
• High-bandwidth wireless infrastructure
• Server and storage connectivity
• Mission-critical network applications
• Long-distance fiber network extensions

Its SFP+ architecture allows the same converter platform to support short-range multimode connections as well as single-mode fiber links extending up to 80 km with the appropriate VERSITRON SFP+ module.

Why Choose the M7280?

The M7280 10 Gigabit Media Converter provides a practical way to integrate 10Gbps fiber connectivity into networks that still utilize copper Ethernet equipment. Rather than replacing an existing copper-connected device, network administrators can use the M7280 to convert its Ethernet connection to 10Gbps fiber and extend the network over significantly greater distances.

Its support for 10/100/1G/10G copper, interchangeable SFP+ modules, multimode and single-mode fiber, jumbo packets, automatic configuration, and multiple installation options provides flexibility for both new network deployments and infrastructure upgrades.

For applications requiring higher bandwidth, longer fiber distances, and immunity to electromagnetic interference, the M7280 provides a compact and scalable copper-to-fiber conversion solution.

Technical Specifications

Standards and Compliance

The M7280 complies with IEEE 802.3ab, 802.3ae, 802.3an, 802.3u, and 802.3x standards. It is also certified to CE, FCC, and RoHS requirements.
