OPTCORE SFP Media Converter Works with Multi Brands

What is SFP Fiber Media Converters?

Most commonly Ethernet Media Converters use SC, ST or FC connector, the 1*9 transceivers are welded on the PCBA so end users cannot replace the transceivers and connectors. Unlike that, SFP media converters provide one or more open SFP ports that allow the users using the SFP optics of your choice. The below Figure is a typical SFP media converter.
