Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does this integrate with existing Cisco 10G switch infrastructure?
A: The LGC220A provides seamless compatibility with cisco 10g switch platforms through standards-compliant 10GBASE-R and SFP+ interfaces, enabling direct integration without compatibility concerns.
Q: What SFP+ modules are supported for fiber connectivity?
A: This converter supports standard SFP+ modules including SR (850nm), LR (1310nm), and ER (1550nm) variants, providing flexibility for short-range and long-distance fiber connections up to 80km.
Q: Can this replace traditional fiber ethernet switches for copper-to-fiber conversion?
A: Yes, this dedicated media converter often provides more cost-effective copper-to-fiber conversion than full fiber ethernet switches, especially when you only need a few conversion ports.
Q: What makes this suitable for server rack network deployments?
A: The 1U rack-mount design and hot-swappable SFP+ modules make it ideal for server rack network switch environments, providing reliable copper-to-fiber conversion without requiring full switch replacement.
