Perle S-10GRT-SFP, 10GBASE-T RJ45 to SFP/SFP+ Media Converter

When your network slows down because you have to choose between copper and fiber, you end up with bottlenecks, missed deadlines, and frustrated users. The 10GBase-T SFP+ Media Converter bridges that gap, letting you connect high-speed fiber modules to a standard RJ45 port. It turns a single Ethernet cable into a flexible, future-proof link that keeps your data flowing smoothly.

Perle S-10GRT-SFP, 10GBASE-T RJ45 to SFP/SFP+ Media Converter

You often face the problem of mixed media environments where some devices only support copper while others need fiber for distance or speed. This mismatch forces you to buy separate equipment or settle for lower performance. The 10GBase-T SFP+ Media Converter solves this by providing a single, reliable point where fiber and copper meet, eliminating the need for multiple adapters and reducing cable clutter. It supports both 10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper and a wide range of SFP/SFP+ transceivers, giving you the freedom to choose the best medium for each link.

Usages

The converter fits into any small office, edge router, or industrial panel where space is limited. It works well in data centers for uplink aggregation, in remote sites where fiber runs are required, and in industrial automation where rugged metal chassis and DIN-rail mounting are essential.

• Connect a fiber-optic uplink to a copper-only switch.
• Extend a 10 GbE link over long distances using SFP+ modules.
• Provide a test point for loopback or diagnostics without disrupting traffic.

Benefits

Because the unit accepts both 10GBase-T copper and a variety of SFP+ modules, you can upgrade parts of your network without replacing everything. The built-in LED indicators give you instant visual feedback on power, link status, and errors, so troubleshooting is quick and painless. Its metal chassis with IP20 rating protects the electronics in harsh environments, while the optional DIN-rail or rack mount kits make installation tidy and secure. Low power consumption (15.5 W max) keeps energy costs down, and the universal 12 V DC adapter works from 9-30 V input, so you can power it from many sources. Finally, the converter’s long MTBF (over 140 000 hours without adaptor) ensures reliable operation for years.

Key Features

• Input supply voltage 9 - 30 vDC, unregulated (12 vDC nominal) - works with many power sources.
• Maximum power consumption 15.5 watts - energy-efficient for 10 GbE.
• 5.5 mm × 9.5 mm × 2.1 mm barrel power connector - secure and easy to connect.
• Universal AC/DC adapter (100-240 V AC, regulated 12 V DC) included - ready to use out of the box.
• Power / TST LED on - shows normal operation and power status.
• Power / TST LED blinking slowly - indicates loopback or test mode on either port.
• RJ45 port supporting 10/100/1G/2.5G/10GBase-T, IEEE 802.3an, up to 100 m on CAT6A.
• One SFP/SFP+ slot with hot-swap capability - insert or replace modules without power loss.
• Supports 10 Gigabit fiber transceivers (10GBase-SR, LRM, LR, ER, ZR, CWDM/DWDM) - flexible fiber options.
• Metal chassis with IP20 rating - durable for industrial or rack environments.

The 10GBase-T SFP+ Media Converter gives you a compact, reliable bridge between copper and fiber, helping you keep your network fast, simple, and ready for future growth.
