FAQ
What types of fiber does this media converter support?
The Axiom MC10-SFP-AX supports both multi-mode and single-mode fiber through its open SFP+ slot. You can insert compatible SFP+ transceivers for either fiber type, allowing flexibility to match existing fiber infrastructure or choose based on distance and budget requirements.
What is the maximum distance supported by this converter?
This converter supports a maximum distance of 0.10 km (0.06 mile). The distance may vary depending on the fiber type and SFP+ transceiver used; multi-mode fiber typically covers shorter distances, while single-mode can extend further, but the converter is rated for up to 0.10 km under standard conditions.
Can this converter be rack-mounted?
Yes, the Axiom MC10-SFP-AX is rack-mountable, making it suitable for installation in data centers, server rooms, or network closets. It also supports hot-swappable and standalone form factors, providing versatile deployment options based on your space and maintenance needs.
What power source does this media converter require?
This converter requires a DC power source. It does not include a power adapter in the package, so you will need to provide a compatible DC power supply that matches the voltage and current requirements specified in the product documentation for proper operation.
