Ordering Information
LFC-10GT-SFP 10GBase-T Ethernet Media Converter to 10GBase-X
SFP+ slot, AC adapter included
LFC-10G-SS multi rate high-speed Optical-Electrical-Optical
repeater/transponder (155M to 11.7G rates), AC adapter included
Overview
The LFC 10G series are high performance and reduced size 10G Ethernet fiber
media converters. Physical dimensions have been reduced for minimum
footprint and highest density attainable in 19” rack environment: 12 units/RU.
Reliability is highly ranked with an MTBF exceeding 65,000 hours.
LFC 10G converters support IEEE802.3an (10G Base-T) and IEEE802.3ae (10G
Base-X) protocols. The 10G-SS model is protocol transparent, supporting
various data rates from 155M (Fast Ethernet) to 11.7G (SDH/SONET). Package
includes AC adapter 100-240V to DC 5V and one User Manual.
Features
•10GBase-T to 10GBase-X SFP+ slot conversion
•Data transparent (high range of data rates for 10G-SS: 155M to 11.7G)
•Forward Jumbo 9k+ packet size data
•Very low latency
•SFP+ slot supports any SFP transceiver type (SR, LR, ER, ZR and CWDM
DWDM short and long-haul models)
•Supports SFP+ hot swap
•Installs in same LFC-CH12 high density chassis as the LFC-100 and LFC-
1000 media converter series
•Low power consumption (less than 5W).

Installation
1. Choose a flat secure surface with room for proper ventilation.
2. Power up the unit using the included AC adapter. Observe PWR LED
status indicating proper power to the unit.
3. Connect RJ45 UTP port using Cat5e or better cable to another Ethernet
device. Make sure the TP LED indicates proper connectivity.
4. Insert a Gigabit or Fast Ethernet rated SFP transceiver into the SFP slot.
Make sure the fiber transceiver used matches the fiber type (MM or SM)
and also a similar optical transceiver at the other end of the fiber. Inspect
FX LED for proper fiber link status.
Troubleshooting
1. No TP/LNK light: verify proper UTP cabling/pinout.
2. No FX/LNK light: verify fiber connectivity and fiber type. Consider
cleaning up fiber connectors and SFPs with appropriate tools. Make sure
Tx and RX ports are properly crossed between units. Make sure FX speed
is properly set on DIP sw.
3. No PWR light: Use only the AC adapter included. Make sure AC power is
available
