Quick Guide
This guide covers the setup and operation of the Intellinet 10GBase-T to 10GBase-R Media Converter (Model 508193 v2). Ensure you have an SFP+ transceiver module before starting, as it is required for fiber optic connections.
Connections
Twisted Pair (RJ45): Connect the UTP port of the media converter to an RJ45 port on your network (e.g., an Ethernet switch). Cat5e or better cabling is recommended.
SFP+ Slot: This device requires an SFP+ transceiver module for fiber optic connections.
- Insert the SFP+ transceiver into the media converter.
- Install the fiber optic cable into the transceiver.
- Connect the other end of the fiber optic cable to your fiber network.
Note: Maximum fiber cable length and specifications depend on the specific SFP+ module used.
LED Status
Monitor the device status using the front panel LEDs:

- Power: On (Power On), Off (Power Off).
- LNK/ACT: On (Active fiber connection), Flashing (Fiber data transfer).
- SD: On (Fiber signal detected).
- 10G: On (10 Gbps connection), Off (Less than 10 Gbps).
- TX Link: On (Active copper connection).
- TX Act: Flashing (Copper data transfer).
Power
Plug the 12 VDC power adapter into the input jack on the media converter, then connect it to a power outlet. Use only the included power adapter or one with matching specifications (12 VDC, 1 A).
